      I,. AFR/ZA - 1. Monat ist schon um

      October 4, 2016 in South Africa ⋅ 🌙 16 °C

      Heute vor knapp 4 Wochen ging es los - und jetzt ist der erste Monat schon um.
      Die Zeit verging super schnell, ich habe als Volontär und der täglichen Arbeit mit Kindern in den Armutsvierteln sehr viel gelernt, wertvolle Erfahrungen gesammelt und der letzte Tag heute war schon traurig, sie haben mir ein so schönes Abschiedsgeschenk gebastelt und ich werde sie definitiv vermissen.
      Genau wie unsere tolle WG mit Meeresblick in dem schönen Städtchen Strand und einfach die traumhaften Landschaften des Western Cape, die ich an den Wochenenden ausgiebig erkunden konnte (Kapstadt, Garden Route, Cape Agulhas, Cape Peninsula/Cape Point).
      Ich hatte eine schöne Zeit hier - gleich geht es wieder nach Kapstadt und morgen startet dann meine 3-wöchige Campingtour durch das südliche Afrika (Namibia, Botswana, Simbabwe und Zambia bis zu den Vic Falls ;)).

      Roughly 4 weeks ago my big trip just started - and now the first month is already over.
      Time is flying, I have learned and gained so much experience during my daily work as volunteer with kids in the township and the last day today was really sad, especially as they made me such a nice farewell present - I will definitely miss them.
      Probably as much as our nice flat with sea view in the beautiful town of Strand and the breathtaking landscapes of Western Cape which I could experience on the weekends (Cape Town, Garden Route, Cape Agulhas, Cape Peninsula/Cape Point).
      I had a nice time here - I am now going back to Cape Town and tomorrow is the start of my 3 weeks adventure camping tour throughout southern Africa (Namibia, Botsuana, Zimbabwe and Zambia up to the Vic Falls ;)).

      Day 1 in Capetown

      June 26, 2018 in South Africa ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      So we arrived safe and unpacked into our accommodation. Capetown is currently in draught so we have to do all we can to save water, this means washing out of a bucket of water instead of showering and only flushing for number 2s.
      We went to somerset mall to buy stuff for the unit and also stopped at Ocean Basket for lunch. It was a very nice seafood lunch which put us into a food coma (to add to the jetlag).
      Got back to the unit and had a nap, still full for lunch we skipped dinner and both went to be early.

      This morning we were awake early but stayed in warm beds not brave enough to face the cold 3c outside.
      We are currently at Wimpy's for breakfast/brunch and much needed coffee.

      This afternoon we are heading to northern Cape Town to visit Ouma Iza (Natasha's grandmother)

    • Day 7

      More rain.

      June 30, 2018 in South Africa ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      Yesterday was cold and very wet.
      We took this opportunity to sleep in and stay inside with the heater on. The day max got to 9C.
      When the rain slowed down in the evening we went to somerset mall to get some groceries and explore more shops. One shop I enjoyed was a hunting and airsoft (air powered rifles and BB guns) shop which had many toys I would have loved (most of which are illegal in Australia).
      Today's weather unfortunately is not much better. We did some domestic duties around the house, cleaning and washing before Natasha's Dad (Charl) arrives.

    • Day 14

      Y repleu ...

      September 3, 2021 in South Africa ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      On se lève tôt (7h45 😬) et on emmène la marmaille qui dort encore dans le camping-car pour aller visiter l'île où était emprisonné Nelson Mandela !

      Au bout de quelques minutes, on crée un embouteillage maousse costaud a cause d'un ...
      ... Penguin 😳 qui est venu se blottir sous notre camping-car alors qu'on ralentissait 😱.
      On gardera longtemps en tête la scène d'Elvina allongée sur le sol au milieu de la route en essayant de parler au penguin pour l'appeler 😂 !!!

      Bon, raté pour la visite, a cause du mauvais temps (y repleu !) Le bateau ne peut pas partir et on doit décaler à demain 😢.

      Pour la 1ere fois, on décide d'arriver tôt en camping et de se poser! Les enfants profitent des jeux et on cuisine une vraie purée pour accompagner nos supers steacks!!!

      Soirée cool, Raoul !!!
