TouchDown!!


Hi All,

So i am finally in Capetown, it seems pretty surreal. Currently sitting in the home base lounge whilst everyone is arriving and settling in. I arrived at about half 11 this morning and was collected at the airport by the CCS driver and brough to the home base. passed through the townships - Langa being one on the way here but will be seeing more tomorrow on the guided tour. The flight was actually alright i didnt sleep for the whole 12 hours but randomly met some dutch students at heathrow who wanted to swap seats with me but ended up sitting with them and some unaccompanied minors so passed the time.

I was shown around the home base on arrival and the staff here are all lovely. The train runs right past our back garden and Rondebosch is only 5 mins away. Will explore more tomorrow. had an amazing view of Table Mountain as we landed in CapeTown and some of the mountains where even covered in snow. Its pretty chilly here but at least theres no rain. Orientation starts at 9am tomorrow so we will have everything explained to us then before placements begin on Tuesday!! All very exciting...!! Love K xx
