Well we got to the airport and said our goodbyes - we were on our own for the first time! So after the - 'don't leave each others side' speach, we were immediately failing. Stood in the line at customs i was dragged out of the queue with all my bags, fully searched, x rayed and my neatly packed bags thrown across a table. I was then fast tracked through customs leaving Andy behind - wondering if i would ever see him again!
After re-aquainting we did what all good backpackers do - we went and had some spicy chicken wings, a couple of pints and as much free baily's as we could get our hands on! As we sat back down we were just coming to terms with the fact that this was for real - when Andrew Lloyde Webber walked past - am i dreaming?
12 hours later after sitting on a plane with no leg room next to a Belgian 70 year old who should not be anywhere else but in an insane Asylum somewhere, we made it to a clear, sunny Cape Town. We were picked up and taken to Claires house. 20 minutes later and we were driving with 2 19 year old girls at break neck speed to a bar. We were so dissorientated it wasn't even funny.
For the last week we have been sunbathing, and i already have a tan (that kicks Andy's tan's arse!) We have seen cheetahs, the botanical gardens, we have been to the beach, played in the sea, Been shopping, eaten alot of meat on braiis or butchers and drank our own body's weight in wine. Yet we are still spending less than half of our daily budget a day! We are being very well looked after and are just taking in as much as possible. I can't believe that we have been here a week already. The photos don't do justice to what we have seen and felt, but they give an idea of how AMAZING it is here!
I will try and update as often as possible, but it isn't always easy because of a lack of time.
Love
