And then there was one...
It's Claudia's last evening before she leaves for Canada tomorrow but she can't say she didn't do it all. Kristi and Claudia's trip to Chobe was fantastic - as we told you and now there are pictures to prove it (see below!!) After leaving Livingstone (we're glad we survived the nighttime taxi ride...) we headed to Capetown - not sure what to expect. From start to finish it was an amazing city to visit. Table Mountain surrounds the city and is absolutely beautiful. We took a cable car to the top and then hiked around and saw great views of the Cape and the waterfront. Our visit included a ferry to Robben Island - where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 of his 27 years (and he was visiting the next day for his 89th birthday), a visit to Groot Constantia (the winelands of South Africa) and a walking tour of the city highlighting various museums and giving us an overview of the impressive history of Capetown. Kristi saved Claudia from a beam that was falling over her bed one night -she'll give you the details later... let's just say the malaria medication has made for some interesting evenings! Kristi will continue the blog for her last 2 weeks as Claudia leaves for the long long trip home tomorrow. Talk to you soon! XOXO K&C

Well Hi you guys! You all look like you've had an amazing time! So same again next year??!!I got back last week from Lifespring Farm and for some reason couldn't leave a message.Probably the red dust in my eyes and mouth! As you know I didn't get to see much, apart from the exciting "Bush Fire Event" to test our first kettle response unit,so I feel I have a good excuse to go back one day and do the tourist thing.( especially the microlight over the falls Kristi! ) I've had great fun setting up your frisbie thing Claudia! I found it really effective to get a bunch of kids together so they can laugh at me as they try and pull my arms and legs off!(It worked great as a team building excercise but I need to check those instructions!)I felt sad saying Bye to Shannon on our last days at the Farm, but can't help feeling that Anglo/Canadian relations have been greatly enhanced since talking about eggs,eating your salty snacks and watching Kristi trying to "Shut the Box".
Never new so many great things came from Canada.It was great to meet all of you.
Hope you're all well and had a safe journey home.
Love and best wishes,
Leo. X
