Goodbye CPT

Hello my friends

89 days ago, I started my trip to Mothers City and now is the moment here, to say goodbye to Cape Town. I had a wonderful and unforgettable time here and I don't regret my choice to go to South Africa. I met a lot of new friends from all over the world, I had awesome experiences and I felt in love with a beautiful city. 
CTP has so much to offer and the most of the people here are very kind. I will definitely come back to this place. 
Of course, I visited today my favorite place here again, Lions Head. I hiked up with Andy, one of the best friends, I met here. With a bottle of Castle, we enjoyed the sunset. Five times i went to Lions Head. And seriously, it was to few. Like i wrote several times, it is the most beautiful place in CPT. 

    Today, last evening, on Lions Head

Last week on Thursday I finished my project. Unfortunately the end was not really perfect. On Wednesday there was no lessons because of rain and one day later, we had only one class. The others were writing exams. So I did a lot with Wesley (we were only two coaches last week). We had coffee together and on Thursday we went to cinema. He is really a great guy with a big heart and I hope I will see him again. 
I can say that the volunteering was great and rewarding. It was always beautiful, to see the happy kids when they played soccer. 


   Wesley and me

On Friday, a surprise was waiting of me. I was sitting in my favorite burger-restaurant in Observatory, as I suddenly felt two hands on my eyes. I looked back and I saw Manu, a ex-classmate in Good Hope Studies. He did a travel from Cape Town to Durban but there he had problems with his flight, so he came back to CTP for 4 days. He checked in, in the same backpacker I lived, because he knew, where I stayed. But he told me nothing.
One day later we changed the accommodation to a backpacker in Long Street. There we lived three days in the same room.
After the acco-change I went with an other ex-classfriend to a drum lesson in Long market Street. The lesson took place on the pavement, we were about 20 people, it lasted two hours.
I enjoyed the lesson and I recognized (again) that I miss playing drums.



 

In the evening I had a goodbye-dinner with my Swiss and Korean friends in Kloofstreet. Afterwards we celebrated a last time together a big party. 

A very cozy evening I had yesterday. I was invited by my host-parents. We ate delicious dinner and we had a lot to tell each other. It was really a nice evening and we forgot the time so I left the house after midnight. I'm looking forward to see Johan and Jenny again, when I come back. 

So, now I have to pack my suitcases. My flight is tomorrow (Wednesday) 3 pm. I leave Cape Town with a lot of beautiful experiences and almost 1000 photos (be prepared for my photo-shows, when I come back, because with Namibia, Canada, USA........... ). But of course, I really looking forward to the next 3.5 weeks in Namibia together with Moni. 

I hope you enjoyed my blog during the last weeks and maybe I'll find some time to carry on my blog in Namibia and later in North-America. 

Thank you all for reading and you will hear from me. 

Peace,
Dario

Second Last post from CPT, SA

Hello, 

Slowly, slowly my stay in Cape Town is going to end. I have only nine days left before I'm going to fly to Windhoek. So this post will be the second last from South Africa. 
I'm still enjoying the beautiful Mother City (Cape Town) and I'am sure that this is not my last visit here. 
In my project I have three more days now, on Thursday is it going to finish. For the kids is it also the last week, before the vacation are going to start on Friday. At the moment we are only two coaches, who are working with the children. The other volunteers had left Cape Town and the other coaches went to Sweden for a international tournament. At the moment the kids are writing a lot of exams, so the schedule is changing all the time. I don't have the overview, the other coach also not. So it is always exciting which class is coming and when my working day is finished. :)
But anyway, I'm still happy with the project. The work with the kids is great and they are really really cute (see the picture). But sometimes I have to be firm, because they are energetic and undisciplined. 
For me, it was or still is a great experience and I hope the kids are happy with Coach Dario. 

    Today    

    Last week: Coach Wesley, Coach Dario:), Felix (other volunteer), Coach Franklin and Coach Kyall. 

Football was also Tuesday a central part of my day. I went with Felix and Andy (an schoolfriend) to the Cape Town Stadium to watch a friendly game between Bafana Bafana (South Africa) and Angola. Last Tuesday was a Holliday in SA, the youth day, nevertheless, the stadium was empty. It has 64'100 seats but there were maybe 5000 - 6000 spectators, maximal. 
The game was not bad, the both teams entertained us very well. After a dream-goal of a Angola-player, who could fit in the FCA-Team, Bafana Bafana showed a good reaction and scored two times. 2-1 it was finally the score as well.  







This mans name is Errol Crocker. He is an author and he lives also in the backpacker, where I am at home. I talked a lot with him during the last weeks and days so I decided to buy his first book he wrote (currently he is writting his second book here). Motherless Son of South Africa. Half Biography and half political-critized book. I'm very excited to start reading, unfortunately I didn't find time until now.
This purchase was on Wednesday. Later I went to the Cavendish-Mall, where I visited a hair-dresser - the most expensive hair-dresser I've ever had. During cutting my hair, she meant I have a dry skin on my head. So she asked me for a head-massage and I answered "yes why not". I didn't expected a 40 minutes long massage:) But ok, I hope my skin is better now, maybe the shampoo, who was also on the bill in the end and I got in a bag, will help too:)
In the evening I went with a Korean friend to a asian restaurant and later to "stones" a billard-bar in Clearmont.

On Thursday, I saw Coach Kyall and Coach Franklin the last time, because, like I said, they went to aninternational tournament in Sweden. With Felix, the other volunteer and Coach Wesley, I went in the afternoon to a huge mall in Kenilworth, where we ate lunch. In the evening I visited together with two friends, the karaoke-bar in Observatory, our "Thursday-evening Stammbeiz".

One day later, I hiked up Table Mountain for my second time - together with Felix. He left last Sunday and before his departure he wanted to reach the top. During the hiking up we met two room-mates of my backpacker, two people from USA - they stayed during the last weekend in my room. We had exactly two hours. The view on the top of Table Mountain is awesome!! But the atmosphere doesn't reach this one of Lions Head ;-)

On Saturday I was busy from early in the morning until - early in the morning!
First I visited with Felix, Andy and my Korean-friend the Old Biscuit Mill. There is every Saturday a market, where you can buy delicious food. The atmosphere's of the markets like this or the night-markets in Hout Bay or Muizenberg are always fantastic. Relaxed people, good food, Live-music. Pretty cool.



In the afternoon I fixed a appointment with a schoolfriend. We wanted to go to a drumming lesson in Long Street. Unfortunately the friend canceled the appointment. Owing to all of the other friends were busy, I decided to visit the Bloubergstrand in Table View, alone. And my decision was rewarding. At Bloubergstrand you have a beautiful view to Cape Town and the special thing is, from all the mountains and slopes in Cape Town, you can only see the three main-mountains: Devils Peak, Table Mountain and Lions Head. (see picture below). I enjoyed the view and strolled along the beach. Later I saw a beautiful sunset there - it was great.
In the evening we celebrated Andy's birthday in the city centre. First we ate in a restaurant, later we had a party in the Dubliner at Long Street.

    Devils Peak, Table Mountain, Lions Head (v.l.n.r.).

Yesterday, on Sunday, I had my laundry-day. Fortunately Andy has in his flat a washing-machine, so I took all my clothes and drove to Sea Point. Tomorrow I will fetch my clothes - dry and good smelling:)

Next Saturday I will leave my current backpacker in direction Long Street. There I'm going to sleep four nights in a other backpacker. 

I send you best wishes to Switzerland and I hope summer will start soon;-) You will hear from me next week with my last blog from SA!

Peace, 
Dario

A short compilation of last week

Hello my friends, 

After a week with al lot of experiences, I had today a very comfortable relaxing day. The weather outside is not really good and tomorrow it will rain. But from Wednesday it's gonna be better. 
At the moment we are two volunteers in my project. But Felix lives in a host-family. Recently I share my room with a girl from England. She works also as a volunteer, in the hospital. The other guy from France (Thibault) left Cape Town last weekend. 
Tomorrow I am going to watch a Bafana Bafana-Game in the Cape Town Stadium. They play a friendly against Angola. 
This week I'll work only on Wednesday and (maybe) Thursday. Owing to a holiday (Youth Day) the school is closed, and was closed today as well. At the moment the kids are writing a lot of exams, so I don't know, if I will have project on Thursday. 

Like I said, I was very busy last week. Luckily the weather was good, so the project took place every day. In the afternoons I did activities with the other volunteers or my school friends. 
On Tuesday I hiked up to Lions Head. For me was it the fourth visit. The top of Lions Head is my absolutely favorite place in Cape Town - I love this place. 

    Lions Head with two other volunteers. Felix (l.) and Thibault (r.)

One Day later we took a uber-taxi in the afternoon to Signal Hill, where you have a beautiful view to Table Mountain and Lions Head and on the other side to green point and waterfront. And also to the Cape Town Stadium. It had been built, for the World Cup 2010. The place for a stadium is not so bad, isnt' it? (Look the picture below). After signal hill, we visited the springbok rugby museum at the waterfront. It is a nice interactive museum. Afterwards we had dinner at the waterfront.



    Beautiful view: Table Mountain (l.) and Lions Head (r.)

On Thursday we wanted to climb the Table Mountain because Thibault never visited the top during his stay in Cape Town. Unfortunately the weather was not really good. There was fog and a lot of clouds. So we stayed at the backpacker, where we had a funny time with the other people from here. On the same day my present roommate arrived.

On Friday I had my orientation with two other volunteers. The responsible person of the project, Danielle, picked us up at the backpacker and we drove to the city centre, where we did a walking tour. The most of the places I've seen before (District 6 museum, Waterfront...). But luckily we walked to places I didn't know yet. For example the Boo Kap and the company's garden (the "central park") of Cape Town. I'd never seen so many quirrels before in my life. They were everywhere.

In the evening I was invited to a house warming party of one of my school friends. She, a girl from South Korea, is here until December, so she rent a flat. She cooked a lot of Korean food for us and Sushi as well. It was delicious and the evening very nice.

    Me and the other volunteers (with the four nobel peace price winner from South Africa) at the     waterfront.

On Saturday we visited three Townships together with our driver. Langha, Gugulethu and Nyanga. It was so impressive - to see how the people live there, or must live there. And when you recognize the reasons why... It's a sad chapter of this country and the history so omnipresent. But I don't want to write too much political stuff here...

In Langha we had a drum lesson (see picture below). It was very nice.
In Gugulethu we ate dinner at Mzoli's. It is a restaurant in the middle of the Township. The food was awesome, only meat, no side dish. The atmosphere (with DJ, people were dancing....) was fantastic.


   Drum-lesson in Langha

In the evening it took place a activity of my project, where I met other volunteers of other projects. We went to a silent disco. It was very strange, but I enjoyed the evening. Everybody had its own headphones and was listening to the music in that way. If you put down your headphones, you see the people dance, but you don't hear music. So it looks very very strange:) Unfortunately the evening ended already at 11 p.m. because our driver took us home and there were different destinations and long distances.


                                silent disco

Yesterday I had a sportive day. Together with school friends I hiked up to the Devils Peak. We started at 12 O'Clock and reached the top 2.5 hours later. Unfortunately the weather on the top was horrible. So we couldn't enjoy the view of Cape Town. The only thing we saw, was fog. But anyway, we had a good time together and after we came down, we ate together in the best Burger Restaurant in Cape Town, in Jerry's in Observatory, near my backpacker.
In the evening I went to a bar with one of my friends in Camps Bay, because like I said, I hadn't work today, so I could sleep long.


   Devils Peak with a beautiful view:(

That were my activities last week.
I am now further 16 days in Cape Town and then I am going to flight to Namibia. I am looking forward to my last days in mothers city (I have a lot of ideas/plans what I want to do until I'll leave Cape Town) and I am really looking forward to Namibia and my girlfriend.

You will hear from me next week.

Peace
Dario

A greeting from Coach Dario


Hello all together,

My first week in my volunteering-project is already over. Today started the second week.
The project is very interesting and nice. I'm working in a Primary School in Wingfield, Cape Town. From Monday to Thursday every class has one hour sport bzw. soccer. So my day starts at 9 am with the first class and ends at 2 pm, when the last class is finished. The kids are between five and thirteen years old. Mostly we are three - five coaches (3 of them are volunteers at the moment). By the way I'am Coach Dario:)

During my first week I had to dance before every lesson to a South-African-Beat. It's a traditional thing here. Every new Coach must show his dancing-skills. Unfortunately (or in this case "fortunately") I danced only two days. On Tuesday and Wednesday, there was no sport-lessons because of the rain. This two days were a little bit boring - we had nothing to do. So I could sleep long:) And there are a lot of pubs near my backpacker, where I watched a lot of tennis and soccer...

Back to my work - After the rollcall, we divide the class into to groups (boys and girls). The boys play soccer (one, two exercises and then a match), the girls do other games with the coaches.
The kids are incredibly cute, particularly the smallest of them. Before every lesson, they run to us and hug all the coaches. It can be, that you have ten kids around you and all of them are hugging you... :)
But they can be also very loud, undisciplined, exhausting... After the last lesson I'm always done.

This week all of the classes have assessments. That means, they have to do exercises (not only soccer) and we (the coaches) give them a mark.

I am very happy with the project and I'm looking forward to the next days and weeks. And luckily the weather is better now, so I think the lessons will take place every day.







During the last week I met my friends from the school several times. On Tuesday we went to a friends flat in Sea Point and we cooked together. On Thursday, we went, like almost every Thursday, to a Karaoke-Bar in Observatory (now I'm living only two minutes away from there). On Friday I watched a movie in the cinema with a friend (the guest, (sosolala)).
One Day later I visited, together with my roommate Thibault from France, a junior soccer game (One of the coaches in the Primary School trains a team). Two, three players are very talented, they have skills, I' ll never be able to have it.



Later we went to Long Street, where we had a goodbye-party of a lot of students, they left Cape Town last weekend. We had a lot of fun, but it was also sad - again - to say goodbye...
Of course we watched the Champions League Final, and we were a little bit disappointed, because of the score at the end.
In exchange, sunday was a beautiful sport-day. At least. After the sad news from Aarau, Gränichen, Federer and, and and. I needed a success. And "Stan the man" did it. What a game, I watched it in a bar with a Swiss guy and I think all the people there recognized, that we are Swiss.
Unfortunately after the throphy-celebration, we saw a lot of bugs (Kakerlaken) on the bar-desk, because of that we left the bar immediately and so, I lost mini Stammbeiz :(

Maybe I'll give them a second chance, because the music there is fantastic.....





This week I haven't got a lot of plans yet. 
Tomorrow I will climb the Table Mountain for my second time. My roommate wasn't on the top yet and he are going to leave Cape Town on Saturday. 

Maybe I will hike on the Devils Peak on Saturday and visit the Rugby museum at the waterfront. 
I will see and you will hear from me. 

Peace, 
Dario

The first part is over

Good evening, 
The first part of my stay in Cape Town is over. Yesterday I changed my accommodation. I left my host-family and the driver of my project drove me to a backpacker, where I will live the next four weeks. Currently I share the room with two other guys. One of them a man from Johannesburg is here for holidays. The other guy, from France, is also doing the Soccer-project. We are the only two Volunteers here:) I expected a lot of Volunteers here, but ok. Tomorrow starts my first day. I'm looking forward to it. I hope the weather is good, because the other Volunteer said me, when it's raining, the project doesn't take place. And at the moment, we have a lot of rain in Cape Town. Actually the winter has started. 

Last Thursday I finished the school. I received my diplom and a report. It was sad and emotional to say goodbye to all my new friends. But we celebrated a lot the last days so it was a great time again. And a few of the students I will see again in the next weeks - so not all of the goodbye's were definitely.



My last school day with my classmates.

The greatest highlight since my last post on Friday a week ago was the rugby game at 23 may. With a group of 27 people, I watched the game between the Cape Town Stormers and the Melbourne Rebels in the stadium. The Stormers won the game 31 - 15. After the game we could go on the field, to take some pictures. Later we had a big party in the spingbok-pub near the stadium. It was great, because almost all of our group joined the party.


 a huge group in the newlands-stadium

group-picture on the field. The photo-bomber on the lefthand side wasn't a member of our group:)

A sad day was of course the Monday, when Aarau went down to Challenge League. I followed the game via live-ticker. I was really frustrated after the game. Luckily I was in a pub...
Nevertheless we have now a fan more - namely in Brazil. I gave Joao from Sao Paulo a FCA-Shirt and he gave my a shirt of his favorite team - Corinthians Sao Paulo.



A little disaster was the Tuesday-evening. I had to cook for my host-parents. The wanted Rösti with Raclette-Cheese. First I made some Bruschetta for the "apero". It was really a success. I was motivated and convinced of my cooking skills. But shame. The gas-grill was too hot and because of that "alles esch aghocket". Finally I had three mini-portions. The rest was burnt. Luckily I had enough Raclette-Cheese. The host-parents said to me the food is very good - but honestly, I think they couldn't say to me, that they are disappointed about the result. They expected a delicious original Swiss Rösti. But I promised, I will come back to Cape Town with improved cooking-skills :)




Yeah, I had a really good time during the last eight weeks. I will miss all the students and my host-family. And the security-man of a primary school, where I walked by every day. Also with him, I had a really kindly good-bye...

But now I'm looking forward to my second part in Cape Town. And of course to the travel trough Namibia with my beloved Girlfriend.

You will hear from me the next weekend.

Peace
Dario

Post Nr. 6

Hello my friends

I'm sitting in the garden, it's beautiful weather - again (all South Africans are speaking about the winter is coming, since I arrived 7 weeks ago). But it is still summer - for me. 
Yesterday we had a big party in a club with the name Tiger Tiger. So I'm a little bit tired. Today I'm going to visit a Nightmarket in Hout-Bay with the school (29 people). Its gonna be fun. 
Tomorrow is the big day with the rugby-game. Meanwhile we are 27 people - awesome. The tickets are distributed and the anticipating is rising. 

Yesterday, I had a very impressive experience. I helped in the soupkitchen of our ex-driver. His wife cooks every Thursday soup or stew in big pots for the people from the townships. So we ladled the stew in the containers (chlini Plastikbehälter oder Töpperweer :) ) from the people. 
It is a beautiful project i think. I will go next week again. 

During the last week, I think my last post was on Wednesday a week ago, I did a lot. 
On Thursday I went to the cinema to see the movie "the duff" (a simple 0815 high-school movie). 
On Friday a week ago I got up very early at 5.15 am. Together with a friend I hiked up to the Lions Head - my absolutely favorite place in Cape Town - to see the sunrise. It was beautiful, but the sunset on the top of the Lions Head is a little bit nicer --> and especially not so early in the morning 
;-) 

The 97th picture on the Lions Head. But this time with the sunrise in the background.


After the Lions Head I visited the Disrict 6 museum. Its a interesting museum, where you can read a lot about the sad history of this district.
In the afternoon, I went to the table mountain, but I didn't hike up. I took the cable car. The weather on the top was horrible. Cold, windy and cloudy. You couldn't see anything. But we had a fun afternoon in the restaurant with one or two beers.
Afterwards we had dinner on the waterfront.


Table mountain


The highlight, last week, was the weekend-trip to Stellenbosch. We rent a car and we slept in a backpacker. Stellenbosch is a famous place for wine. There are a lot of wine-farms, where you can taste red- and whitewine. All the farms are very nice and the weather was awesome. On Saturday we visited the dernier-farm and the waterford-farm, on sunday the eikendal-farm. The wines were delicious and so we drank a lot:)
In the evening we went out. Stellenbosch is a student-place, so there was a lot of partys.


Stellenbosch, dernier-farm

Team Stellenbosch

On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I relaxed and recovered. Of course I was very happy because of the 2:1-victory of the FC Aarau. But it was only a short happiness until the 2:2 FCZ-Vaduz.
The FCA-game was the first game, I could stream successfully. So i saw the wonderful goal of Djuric live. But yeah, its gonna be very very difficult to stay in the NLA. Hope dies last.

Next week is my last week at school. After that I start with my social project. I'm really looking forward to my volunteering.

Have a nice weekend guys and you will hear from me.

PEACE

Post Number 5

Hello my friends

After a weekend with a lot of party, I realize, I'm getting older. Today I didn't go to school, because of stomach problems and weakness. But now I feel better. Maybe the reason isn't the hard weekend, maybe I have eaten something wrong. My suspect is the biltong I've bought on Monday evening...

Since my last post at 5th of may, a week has already passed again. I experienced a lot. I didn't do big trips, but nevertheless I had every day program.
On Tuesday a week ago I met my neighbor from Aarau, Andrea and her friend Carmen. They are in South Africa for holidays. We ate in the restaurant MAMA AFRICA. It was a very cozy evening. I had a delicious Kudu-Steak, the others had a platter with different meat (Crocodile, ostrich, Springbok...). It was my second visit in MAMA AFRICA. I like this place, because every evening plays a african live band.



One day later, I saw the champions league game between Barcelona and Bayern Munich in a original south african - no touristic - pub. The south african, they love soccer. They really love soccer. The atmosphere in this pub was awesome. I've seldom seen a crowd, who is watching a game with so much passion. After Messi's 1:0, one guy took of his Barca-Shirt and celebrated the goal, like he were the scorer. After the final whistle, the game and the current footballnews were beeing analyzed passionately and loudly. It was a pleasure to observe this scenes.

On Thursday-evening my weekend began with a visit in the karaoke bar in the city-part of observatory. The evening was very funny. A lot of students were there and of course, we sang some songs. For example Gangnam Style with my friend from south korea. :)

Unfortunately some guys leaved South Africa last weekend. One of them, a guy from South Korea, organized on Friday-evening a braai at his house. It was really nice and a lot of students visited the goodbye-party.

On Saturday I made together with two friends a touristic day (Meanwhile we doesn't describe ourself as tourists. We are local people). We drove with the cabriolet-bus around Cape Town.




At the evening we celebrated the birthday of a student at the dubliner pub in the long street. Almost the whole good hope school was in the club. We had a great time all together. And now, the monkey dance ist famous in South Africa too ;-)

After three party's in a row, sunday was a relaxing day. I went to the campsbay-beach with one aim: recovering. I think I achieved my aim:)



Yeah, this was my last week. This week, like I said, I have some trouble with my health. But I hope, I'll be ready till the weekend. Because we are going to rent a car and we are driving to Stellenbosch (Wynelands). To taste some wine.

Something, that made me very happy last week: I tried to organize tickets for the rugbymatch at 23 may 2015. I asked at school, who is interested to join me. Now, I'm going to watch the game with 22 others.. awesome. The tickets are ordered and paid. So I don't have to withdraw some money in the next weeks, because every day I receive money:)

Now, I wish you all a beautiful Auffahrt. I hope the "seniore" of FC Gränichen will win the Cup and I hope FC Aarau will use the last chance this weekend.

PEACE
Dario

Rugby, Garden Route, Bungee Jumping

Hello, 
The time is running at the moment. I'm already in the half of my stay at the good hope school in Cape Town. Since my last post, I have experienced a lot. 
On Saturday a week ago, I visited a rugby game between the Stormers (Cape Town) and the Bulls (Pretoria). Unfortunately we had not the best places in the stadium, but the game was exciting - complicated, but exciting. Fortunately I went to the game with a student, who plays Rugby in Switzerland, so I had an expert next to me. The Stormers beat the Bulls 15:13 (without a try, only with kicks). 
Rugby is in South Africa definitively very popular. Already 5 hours before the game starts, is a hustle and bustle around the stadium. The roads are congested and all the sports-grounds near the stadium transform into parking places, which are full of people they having their braai. 


One Day later I went to Robben Island, the Island, where Nelson Mandela was prisoned 18 years. It was an impressive visit, because the cells are really very small in the jail. And when you think about, that people was imprisoned for such a long time, because of nothing - horrible. The tour was also really exciting, because the guide was an ex-prisoner. 
I think Robben Island is very recommendable, where you have a lot of stuff to think about.

The last week was a short one, because of the national day on Monday and the 1. May ond Friday. 
I hiked up on the top of the lions head again on Tuesday and I went to the famous Long Street for have a party on Thursday. 
On Friday i started early in the morning really exhausted a 3-day-trip to the garden route. But the tour was rewarding and we experienced a lot. On Friday we visited the cango caves in Oudtshoorn. We did an adventure-tour. In some parts the route was only 27 centimetres high or narrowing at a point to about 30 centimeters. The tour is definitely nothing for people with claustrophobia. 
After the caves, we went to canoeing. 


Our accomodation, a backpacker with the name afrovibe, was located directly in front of the sea. It was beautiful. We had supper together, played bear-pong, enjoyed the wonderful beachbar and had a great time together. 

The absolute Highlight of the trip was a day later on Saturday. – the bungee jumping. I can’t still beliebe, that I had jumped the world’s highest bungy jump bridge (216 metres). Before the jump i was so nervous and scared. We were a group about 30 people and i was one of the last jumpers. It was a long time to wait – horrible, but it was worth it. I have got a video of my jump, but the uploud doesn’t work because of my bad Wifi....
 

















On sunday we made a safari during 3 hours. I saw lions, zebras, giraffes, elephants, rinos etc.
After that we went back to Cape Town. It was a long drive, we stuck in a lot of traffic. The journey back took about 8 hours. I was so exhausted, because of the long days and very short nights before. The whole time, i was sleeping.
 
Today was the start of my fifth week here in Cape Town. Only 4 weeks until my social project. The time is running. This week I haven’t got any plans yet. But I’m sure, that I’ll have a lot to tell again, next week.
 
 

Peace, ond machets all guet

Dario
