So we are heading off in the next few days and really excited - will miss 2/5 of the bunch who need to stay at home for uni and jobs which is a shame.

As ever great debate amongst the girls as to the wardrobe to take and great anguish by me who as ever can't find his paper driving licence...

We are off to Cape Town at first and will do some touristy things like Table Mountain and more reflective things like Robben Island hoping to go down to the Cape to see some endangered penguins as well as some whale watching and dolphin surfing if we are lucky.

Then off to Franschhoek to see the spectacular mountains and test the wineries - a real test for us but we will try and rise to the challenge - finally then off to Johannesburg to see the Apartheid Museum and if we can see the townships - a salutary lesson no doubt on progress in the last ten years.

Annoying our good friends, D,D and K are in Cape Town too but we miss them by a day - shame Gemma Kiara and penguins would have been such fun!
