HELLO from Cape Town!! South Africa is AMAZING, and we’ve only been here for 2 days!

So far I have walked with baboons (a juvenile actually climbed up my leg!), sat with the South African penguins and went to the south-west most southern point on the continent of Africa! The days are long but packed with soooo much. We have a beautiful view of Table Mountain outside our cabin window. Tomorrow, early morning, Lauren and I are going sky diving!!! I’ll try and post pictures before I leave on my safari at 0400 hours on Friday.

The food is beyond delicious, the people very kind (most speak English which is nice), Cape Town- surprisingly very touristy, the atmosphere is very laid back and safe. Our ship is stationed right next to the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront Complex which is a big mall with every comfort of home! KFC, Haagen Daz, a smoothie place, Pic n’ Pay (a grocery store) and a very clean environment! I can’t wait to get out of very Western Cape Town and head to Kwazulu Natal for my safari.

I will write a more detailed post once we leave South Africa. I’m going to TRY and make some phone calls Thursday morning between 5am-7am because it is a 10 hour difference.

I received a BUNCH of letters this morning!! THANK YOU!!!

*Also, has anyone received one of my postcards from Brazil? A bunch of us realized that the stamps we bought didn’t say AIRMAIL on them…oops!
