Busy Busy Busy....

Hollaa all.

Hope everyone is doing well...Just got home and its been a long day so sorry for any spelling errors and all that. Last time i wrote was saturday before the rugby, survived the train ride to Newlands with Annie and 40 Rand secured us the best seats in the house.. equivalent of less than 4 pounds.. to watch Western Province convincingly beat Bolands 50-10. Nick a guy who used to go to Bishops played last 30 mins or so which was cool to see as hes still young so quite a big thing for him to be playing i think.. was a good experience. Went to Long Street that evening to the Dubliner which was a good night... house was quiet as everyone only really came back on Sunday evening. Yesterday it rained alot so we just chilled out and went to see Batman and relaxed before placement again and the next stretch of 6am wake up calls... Was great to go back to the kids today and see everyone again. Teaching them P.E wednesday and thursday weather permitting which is really exciting as they do not normally get P.E classes scheduled into their timetable. After placement today we came straight home for lunch then we went to the waterfront to catch the ferry to Robben island. We went on a walking tour through the prison and saw Mandela's cell and where he spent his time imprisoned on the island. Our guide was an ex prisoner so he really knew his stuff and he was very moving and touching. We then boarded a bus for a tour of the island and had a very amusing guide who had some good brit/us/bush jokes to keep us amused. The ferry back was a bit rough but all in all an amazing thing to do and definately worth it for the understanding and history i gained. Mandela is such a legend and a peoples hero here.. Went around the waterfont and had some dinner with some of the girls and we just came home now. Def ready for bed... time is flying by its crazy... cant believ i left home 2 and a half weeks ago.. so much to go into regarding what i know/learnt/seen but will save that for another time. Love K x
