So long from Cape Town

Africa » South Africa » Western Cape » Cape Town

Sunset at Table View
Another sunset, this time from Table View near where I am staying.

Hi! Can't believe it but am now done with Cape Town! 10 weeks down and only 4 to go. It's been brilliant here in the Cape but am looking forward to Namibia. Finished on a high today - literally! Went on a helicopter ride around the bay and Table Mountain, absolutley awesome! Love Helen xx [View Full Entry]

Whales, sunsets and more kids

Africa » South Africa » Western Cape » Cape Town

Nemo!
A shot you have to take at the Two Oceans Aquarium, me with a load of Nemos!

Hi Still in Cape Town but only a week left now, the weather has finally turned and it looks like spring is properly here. Have been whale watching, saw some large Southern Right Whales and also found out that I do get sea sick! Also saw a fab sunset from the top of Table Mountain - definitely a must see. Must now have at least 200 photos of that mountain, promise not to post them all!! Love Helen xx [View Full Entry]

Conquered the mountain!

Africa » South Africa » Western Cape » Cape Town

Goat in a tower
Yep it's a goat that lives in a tower - weird but pretty cool!

Hi Have had a great week, toured the wineland area, went shopping and trekked up Cape Mountain, not to mention being dribbled, peed and puked on! A good mix of activities eh! It was great to climb the mountain, apparently the easy route but my legs didn't agree with that! The kids are keeping me very busy on work days, should be a great workout running after two year olds for twelve hours! Love Helen x [View Full Entry]

Township
This is a view of one of Cape Towns large townships, it really makes you appreciate how much you have at home.

Hi - Still in Cape Town and working hard! The kids are hard work and keep you on your toes. I can now hear babies crying 24 hours a day, apparantly this is normal and will go away soon - hope so! Helen xx [View Full Entry]

Now in Cape Town

Africa » South Africa » Western Cape » Cape Town

Tony
I love him, it's official

Have very sadly said goodbye to Chimp Eden and moved onto Cape Town, only one day on and I am really missing the chimps, the people and even the Wendys. The large bush fire on the last day made for an interesting end however. Am now in colder Cape Town, definitely a different climate but looking forward to seeing the city.

Hello again from Chimp Eden

Africa » South Africa » Mpumalanga » Neilspruit

Guida
Guida was chained up outside of a nightclub on a very short chain, she's a very intellegent chimp and likes to break open nuts with large stones - quite a sight when she picks an enourmous rock!

Hi, a last update from Chimp Eden before moving on to Cape Town, have grown very attached to the chimps and it will be hard to leave them, may just have to put one in my hand luggage! We'll be having a big camp fire tonight as a final farewell and may even stay up till 10pm if we push it!! Love Helen xx [View Full Entry]
