A quick update

So I have net up at my coarse, but it is somewhat slow and painful. As a result this is just a quick update. For the rest of my time in Cape town. Simons town, I caught up with my friend and we climbed another mountain with her, getting some lovely views over the area. Again just as we reached the top the weather closed in and we lost the view. Wednesday I again caught up with my friend and we headed down to Cape Point with a couple of other people, with the aim of doing several walks. However we got distracted by the views and just taking it all in that we only made it to Cape Point and the lighthouse, before we had to head back. The upside was that we did get to see a whale off in the distance. 2d a compartment to myself, which was just as well as it was very cozy, enough for one person but it was supposed to be for 2. It was supposed to be a 27 hour trip but we got stuck behind a goods train so it was delayed by 3 hours, just as well the scenery was lovely-however being stationary in the same spot for an hour does mean that you get a little sick of the same mountain or trees! On the upside I did see my first osterich for the trip, which makes penguins, zebra, whales before I even make it to my coarse!!! Friday was spent entirely on the train, then Saturday I organised a tour of the aprartide museum in J'burg and Soweto township. These were both depressing as well as very interesting, ti was good to learn some of the history of the country. Sunday was driving up to my coarse, a 6 odd hour drive, during which we all got to know each other which was good considering we will be living together for 6 months. Today has been health and safety and introduction. Photos when I have internet that is faster than a snail!
