from your cousin Karen... Hi Kate. Great to hear about your trip. Especially since exactly 30 years ago, I also left Australia on my own to travel and spent Jan '83 in the Cape. I suspect everything (and nothing) has changed. Safari salama. Karen x
African journey Thats more like it, news wise. I have heard the harbour is a lot like Sydney Harbour. Apparently Shahanz and Aunty Karen had an argument about which is more beautiful. so it must be close. Petting zoo and aquarium sounds good. Can never close properly on the txts so it is "stay safe, enjoy yourself, with lots of love Mum xx"
I did hear it was modelled after the theory of Sydney and San Francisco harbour. I didn't think it was particularly pretty; slightly too practically focused and not in an "industrial chic" kind of way. Just in a "this is a working port" kind of way. But it was still nice. Kind of had an E shed markets vibe to it, with fairy floss and sausage sizzles. There also, oddly, wasn't much water visible, which was probably the biggest let down. But the aquarium was awesome! Slightly overbearing on the message of "humans are destroying the planet, don't we suck", but the penguins were adorable.
I have just finished my university degree and am celebrating by abandoning my friends, family and boyfriend for the next 6 months. And due to extreme laziness thought a blog would be a better way to keep in touch than multiple emails.... full info
