    Check In Chaos.🇨🇭

    November 3, 2023 in Switzerland ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C

    Mit so viel Freud wie hüt am morge hani de Briefchaschte scho lang nümme gleert. Tatsächlich hends de internationali Füehreruswis wie au mini Devise no rechtzitig zu mir gschafft. Woni den de Risverschluss vo mim Rucksack mit mine siebe oder eher acht Sache auno zuebracht han, bini langsam startklar worde. 🧳

    Am halbi 4 hend mi sTaxi Sabi + Manu dur de zürcher Stau, an Flughafe chauffiert. dWarteschlange am Check In isch den jedoch no einiges schlimmer als de Stau in Züri gsi. Will de Flug uf Istanbul mit 26 Lüt überbuecht worde isch het eis Chaos gherrscht. Niemert het recht gwüsst was lauft und dInfos sind nur uf türkisch dureghe worde. Han gmeint mir seget amne schwizer Flughafe? Unglaublich.🤦🏻‍♂️ sPersonal het de glueget öb sPassagiere irgendwie uf anderi Gsellschafte umbuecht werde chönd und dur das isch alles uh lang gange. Endlich am Schalter ahcho hends mer den gseit si chenget mer kei Boardcharte usstelle aber ich söll eifach mal ufs Gate vlt hegi den Glück und chem no en Platz über. Ja easy, hani ez au nonie ghört aber machemer doch.😵‍💫 Woni den de Schalter verlah han hettmer de Typ hinderem Schalter no zuegrüeft vowege dass ez wieder ein Platz frei worde isch und er mir trotzdem en Sitzplatz garantiere chan. Huiuiui da ischmer grad en Stei vom Herze gfalle, hans Flugi scho ohni mich flüge gseh. Schnell dur Passkontrolle gspeedet, ufm Gate ahcho und da isch de Trubel witergange. Sie suechet 16 freiwilligi Persone wo erscht morn uf Istanbul flüge wend und mit Übernachtigschoschte, Verpflegig und mit zuesätzliche 400 Euro entschädigt werdet.🤑
    I 5 Minute söttmer flüge aber s‘Chaos ufm Gate het sich nonig würkli beruhigt. So wies usgseht hends nonig gnueg Freiwilligi gfunde und x Personne stönd ohni Boardcharte und ohni Sitzplatz da.
    Zum guete Glück han ich min Sitzplatz. dSituation selber stört mich momentan grad nöd, da dur dVerspötig min Ufenthalt in Istanbul weniger lang wird.🥲    Read more

    Irgendwenn ischs den glich mal no losgange. Z‘Züri am Flughafe hani de Ferres kenneglernt und per Zuefall simmer den grad auno nebet e nand im Flugi gsesse. Dank ihm und sine Reisestorys sind die paar Flugstunde uf Istanbul wie im Nu vergange. Willmer wetterbedingt nöd hend chöne in Istanbul lande, hemmer immer meh und meh Verspötig gha und langsam isch eus Zit devo grennt.😵‍💫 Diversi Passagiere hend de Ahschlussflug verpasst aber de Ferres wo witer uf Singapur gfloge isch und ich uf Kapstadt, sind dur de Flughafe in Istanbul grennt und hends zum Glück beidi no ganz knapp is Flugi gschafft. @Ferres, bim Witerflug hani tatsächlich e ganzi Sitzreihe für mich gha.😂 Ich hans mer den gmüetlich gmacht, mich usbreitet, de zNacht verschlafe und bim zMorge bini den wieder verwachet. Nach zwei witere Flugstunde simmer den in Kapstadt glandet. Völlig unkompliziert isch Passkontrolle wie au dGepäckusgab verloffe und somit bini churz drufabeh scho im Taxi richtig Stadtzentrum gsi. Da het mich den mini gmüetlich Wohnig erwartet.Read more

    Table Mountain.⛰️

    November 11, 2023 in South Africa ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

    De Table Mountain isch eis vo de bekanntische Wahrzeiche in Kapstadt. Demit mir rechtzitig zum Sunneuntergang on the Top of the Mountain sind, hanich mich mitere Gruppe mit fascht nur brasilianische Studente am 15:00 Uhr uf de Weg gmacht. Mitm Uber simmer richtig Table Mountain gfahre. Wommer bi de Talstation ahcho sind hend zerscht mal alli dJagge müesse montiere will en ziemlich chalte Wind gange isch. De Blick id Höchi het den die einte scho ah de Wanderig zwifle lah wills zimli düschter, wulchig und beneblet usgseh het, aber sWetterapp het gmeint, de Nebel wird verschwinde und dSunne wird für üs gege de Abig strahle. Zuversichtlich simmer loszottlet und zimlich schnell het sich herusgstellt dass die südamerikanische Studente wohl nöd so oft i de Berge sind.😅 Die einte hend den nach de erschte 100m grad wieder kehrt. Über Stock und Stei hend mir üs id dHöchi begäh und je höcher mir cho sind desto nebliger & chüeler isches worde. Nach über 2.5h sind den au die letschte schweissgebadet, abgschlage und küchend on the Top ahcho. Weder e Ussicht no en Sunneuntergang het üs wie erhofft da obe erwartet. Dichte Nebel und ischalti Temperature hemmer da obe ahtroffe und drum hemmer üs as erschts grad mal miteme heisse Kafi im Resti ufgwärmt. Mir sind üs zimli schnell einig gsi dassmer so schnell wie möglich wieder abegönd und zwar nöd zFuess sondern mit Bändli. Schlotternd simmer is Bändli ihgstige und siehe da, bi de Abefahrt isch den de ersehnti Sunneuntergang und au dUssicht zum Vorschi cho. 🌄 Will au dune alli immerno so chalt gha hend, hend mir den die planti ahschlüssend Pizzeria gstriche und jede isch hei under die 30 minütig warm Duschi.😄Read more

    Neighborhood Market.

    November 12, 2023 in South Africa

    „Improve and use your english every time.“
    This is the statement from our english teacher. So, now i will try to tell you the impressions from cape town in English. 🙉

    Last saturday morning Adilson and I went to the neighborhood market before we hiked up table mountain. At 10 o’clock Adilson picked me up by my flat. The market wasn’t far. The way to the market didn‘t take us longer than 15min in an Uber. The whole market was outside, the location was amazingly decorated and the differet food that we tasted, was delicious. 🌮🍱🥭

    Clifton Beach. 🌞

    November 15, 2023 in South Africa ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    After school we went to Clifton Beach. For Fabienne, Jenny and me it was the first day at the beach since we arrived here. Rakkah und Keynes have been here for 4.5 months and both of them were at the beach, but not in the water. It is the atlantic ocean and the water feels so freezing. Keynes and me stayed in the water for about 20 seconds and Rakkah was in there for more than 15 minutes.🥶 We relaxed four hours at this beach. Before the sun finally set we walked to Camps Bay which was next to Clifton beach.🌞Read more

    Open Air Cinema, Kirstenbosch.

    November 17, 2023 in South Africa ⋅ 🌙 18 °C

    The doors to the open air cinema openend at 6pm. Fortunately, we stayed there too early. After 6pm got it crowded and the queue took much time. We received our chairs, a blanket and a bag with popcorn, afterwards we chose a place to sit. Food stall were availabled all over this place, so everybody found something to eat. 🥙 We were thankful that we got a blanket because it was windy and not so warm. At 8pm the movie „finding nemo“ started. Three morals of this film that we learned in class are ‚the importance of teamwork, your difference don’t define you and our parents will never give up on you.‘ Such a popular movie that everybody knows, except Rakkah. 😂 The location was great, the mood and the whole evening also.✨Read more

    Lanzerac, Stellenbosch.🍷

    November 25, 2023 in South Africa ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    Sometimes i reckon we are in Brazil and not in South Africa because everywhere are brazilien guys. 🇧🇷😄
    I booked a wine tasting tour with 5 brazilian. At 10am the shuttle bus picket us up by the Good Hope School. After 1.5 hours by car, we appeared by the first winery, „the Lanzerac“ in Stellenbosch. Firstly we started with a cellar tour which was guided by one of the estate‘s expert. Afterwards we chose a place outside. In a relaxed atmosphere by the breathtaking views of the Stellenbosch valley, were we eating fresh bread with chees and meat while we were tasting wine.🍷🧀 We tasted 11 types of wines.

    Winery 2 & 3. 🍷🥴

    November 25, 2023 in South Africa ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    After 35min by car, we arrived at the second winery which was called „fairview.“ Fairview is a working farm and they set up their focus on creating sustainable products with a focus on wine, cheese and other fresh farming products. The location was astonishingly decorated. We were tasting wine while the experts were telling us the stories for each wine. We tasted 6 distinct wines again. It was very interesting but after that many glasses of wine, i forgot each story.😂🤦🏻‍♀️
    The last stop was on a farm. I remember the name „hunting lions“ or „Löwenjagd“ but i can‘t remember how many wines we tasted. As far as i‘m concerned we had four or five glasses. Finally we were totally drunk and everybody slept or snored on the homeway. Fortunately, Peter our driver threw us out at a pizzeria which was next to my flat. We ate pizza and after dinner the world looked much better.🤭    Read more

    rewarding experience.🍜

    November 30, 2023 in South Africa ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Today i went to the soup kitchen in the south of Cape Town. It is an activity from the school but unfortunately, not many students decide to volunteer at the soup kitchen because they don‘t understand why they have to pay for a voluntary work. Cape Town has more than 14000 homeless people, a lot of them are also children. The charity buy food with our donation and allow them to eat a hot meal for free. We served more than 50kg of rice and lentils. Voluntary work doesn‘t make us rich, but it gives you something more valuable than money. There is nothing more valuable than seeing the smiles of the children and adults, you‘ve helped.❤️
    @family rohner, the day that i met your cousin/niece, Lara. 🙋🏻‍♀️    Read more

    Today morning we hiked Lions Head. I was getting up when my alarm was ringing at 2.30am. I ate my breakfast, wore my clothes and afterwards i went to adderly street where i met the other students. Today i was also in a group with only brazilian students. Fortunately they were
    strict and they didn’t talk in portuguese, just in english. Obrigada.😄 We took and Uber and drove in direction Lions Head. We enjoyed the hike about 1.5 hours and we were rewarded with a stunning view of the sunrise.🌄 The way downstairs was a huge challenge for the brazilians. I was glad when we safely arrived the ground. We went home, took a shower and afterwards we met us again in class.    Read more

    December 1, 2023 in South Africa ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    This weekend we spent our time at the garden route. At 6 o‘clock the day started. After 5.5 hours by car we arrived at the first place where we went for kajaking. Unfortunately, the weather was damp and wet. Afterwards we went to our accomondation where we stayed two nights. I shared my room with 6 girls. It was hilarious and we had a lot of fun together. 🇦🇴🇧🇷🇨🇭
    Our lodge was truly cozy and was located next to the beach. The locals created a delicious dinner. Some vegetable, rice, corn, bread and different kinds of meat were offered.🤤    Read more

    wild oats farmers market.👨‍🌾

    December 2, 2023 in South Africa ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    Saturday morning we went to a farmer’s market where the farmers were selling food that they had produced. They sold directly to consumers. These kind of markets are my favourites because the market is in nature and the athmosphere is so cozy and relaxing. As every morning i was starving. 😅 A bowl with selfmade granola, two rice paper rolls and a fresh mango juice made my breakfast perfect. 🥭🥟Read more

    garden route safari.🦒

    December 3, 2023 in South Africa ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    Sunday morning, we were eating breakfast at the accommodation while Lorence, our tour guide, was giving us information about the day. Thirty minutes later, we left our lodge and drove in direction Riversdale, where the safari began. We drove in a 4x4 vehicle. The landscape was vast and quiet. Only the sound of the wind were blowing around us. Before we got into the vehicle, I asked our guide about the possibility of seeing giraffes. He said the possibility is only 2%, which disappointed Anna and me. Nevertheless, we were also excited to see other wild animals. Amazingly, we saw lions, cheetahs, zebras, buffalos, hippos, and rhinos which were wandering next to the road, just a few meters away from us.🦁 The highlight, we saw six giraffes nearby.🦒 Everyone was thrilled! After the three-hour tour we were hungry and went for lunch before we driving back to Cape Town. The Garden Route, a great experience that I can definitely recommend.🤗Read more

    favorite classmate.🤍

    December 7, 2023 in South Africa ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    The time has passed so fast, rather too fast. Today is Rapha's last day in class, and tomorrow he will spend his last day in Cape Town. Rapha arrived two weeks after me at the GHS, and since his first day, he was my favorite classmate. Sympathetic, open-minded, kind-hearted, funny, and gay. 😂🌈 (-> no more questions, pls 😄)
    I really liked this man, and it was always a big pleasure to spend my time with him. Every morning we went together to school, and he always laughed at me when I stopped at the fruit stand to buy fresh fruits. He joked about my morning muesli routine, and he couldn’t imagine eating a healthy breakfast like this.

    As far as I'm concerned, he enjoyed this kind of breakfast, which I prepared for him on his last morning. 😄🍌🫐 After the most delicious breakfast that he ever ate, we went to Sunset Beach, where we met Victoria & Jenny. It was so windy, and the sand blew away and hit our skin. It was really painful, so we decided to spend our time with wine and snacks in Victoria's flat, which she hired for two days. The day went by. It was sad to say goodbye, but now I have one more reason to visit Brazil. Thanks, Rapha.🤍    Read more

    This Sunday, there was a girls' trip. We decided to book a private guide who took us to different destinations we had chosen. Our first stop was at the colorful beach houses in Muizenberg. These houses are just changing rooms, but they are the most photographed houses in South Africa. Of course, we also took pictures..🌈 There were various shops and restaurants available at the beach, and we fortified ourselves for the day with breakfast in a fancy restaurant.Read more

    penguins beach.🐧

    December 10, 2023 in South Africa ⋅ 🌬 21 °C

    The next stop was at Boulders Beach, but whenever we talked about it, we always called it, the penguin beach. It was my first time seeing penguins, but I had always thought penguins were much taller. Maybe I had watched "Pingu" too much as a child.😂🐧 It was incredible, there were hundreds of penguins on the beach, but they looked lifeless. Most of them were just staying around and enjoying the sun and their lazy life.Read more
