Firstly the bad new... No pictures yet. But we have taken many and they are coming soon! Except the first day we got taken by surprise as Natasha and her friend picked us up and drove off at break neck speed so that the police (Natasha's father) wouldn't catch them bunking varsity..!
So far we've drunk about 12 bottles of fine South African wine between us and Claire who we are staying with. Part of the reason for this is being able to buy 7 bottles for the equivelant of about 7 quid! And the stuff is quality, so no hangovers. We have spent minimal amounts of time completely sober thus far.
The weather has been beautiful; the natives are complaining about a wintry nip, but Alex and I have been tops off and tanning every day. It has rained once so far, but by midday it was clear skys and hot again. Alex the bugger is beating me tan-wise.
We've been to see the Cheetahs at Spier, been to the Botanical Gardens at Kirstenboch, window shopping at the V&A and today went to Fish Hoek beach and built a massive sandcastle.
Boll has been enjoying every minute, although hasen't consumed as much wine or been quite so naked.
Love to anyone reading!

P.S. The song is a favourite of mine, and the lyrics sum up how I'm feeling, enjoy:
"The world is our carpet now
The world is our dancefloor now
Remind me how to dance again
The world is our carpet now
The world is just waiting now
No staring out windows now
Our train stopped moving hours ago
We're here, we're here, we're here
Yes we're here
Free to laugh and cry
Obliged to try
And nothing here's worth winning without a fight
When I can't move
I'll enjoy the still for a while
And lose myself in waves
And mountains and the sky
And I'm back here quick as lightning
'Cause we are just seconds
Seconds in a day"
"We're here" - The Guillemots
