South Africa- Days one and two

Cape Town, South Africa

Wow, what a city. Sam and I arrived after a five hour delay thanks to a leaking pipe and a plane swap but sadly I was still sat next to the same mental irish girl who wouldnt shut up for 11 hours, despite me sleeping!!! Sam had a similar experience but her mad lady was german and despite Sam saying she knew very very limited german, she kept talking and if not to Sam to her self. Backpackers lodge is lovely as are the people we share the dorm with. We can see table mountain from the bar here, but then probably you can see it from everywhere in Capetown. We havent been up it yet as today was too cloudy, so will go tomorrow, weather permitting. Dont worry though, weather yesterday was fantastic and the tan has started! We have done a fair bit here already, the coastline is spectacular but no whale sightings yet, just seals, which are gorgeous and yes I have hundreds of photos of them! Although most of the shots of them are diving back under the water having waved at me, done somersaults and other tricks knowing my camera isnt quick enough to catch it!!! Seen the football stadium they are building for the world cup in 2010, would love to come back for that! its a really fab city. so far no problems. one day left in Capetown then im off to St Lucia for the month to work with the community, so god help them!!!

Sounds good Scoles! Trust you to find the annoying Irish chatterbox, though could have been worse - you could have got the German!
Enjoy your last day in Cape Town and good luck working with the community in St Lucia, am sure that will be a life changing experience (if not for you, for them!!)
