Alex Hi Aunt,
I have seen pretty much everything other than lion, lol. You can tell her I saw Marlen the giraffe today though. I have bought her her own string of beads from South Africa as I know she liked mine so much. Will leave them with Mum for when you get back. Hope you're all well. Can't wait to see you soon.

Alex the Lion Hi Luc shounds like you have been having the most amazing time, looking forward to hopefully seeing you before you go back to St.Andrews, we are still away when you come back. Your cousin want's to know if you have seen Alex the Lion yet? Take care and enjoy the rest of your trip. Lots of Love.xxxxx
Postcard That's good to hear Mike,
Thanks for the postcard - my Mum read it to me down the phone so thanks for taking the time to send me it - it was really sweet of you.
Enjoy the rest of your holidays.
Happy birthday! Hi Mike,
I had a lovely birthday thanks. I'll take this opportunity to wish you happy birthday in advance for the 14th - I hope you have a good one. How was London?

Safe and sound Hi sweets,
I am safe and being so well looked after it's unreal. My host parents and all the vols at the hospice treat me like their adopted daughter so it's like a battle between them to make sure I'm eating, getting enough sleep etc. Don't know how I'm going to go back to living on my own.
How are you? Any news for me?
xxxxxxx
P.S. If you want something bad enough, have patience and give it time and trust me you'll get there.
Argh! Hey Lucy!
Oh God it sounds like youre having such a great time, I'm so pleased (albeit a little jealous) Im so glad you had such a lovely birthday!
Really looking forward to maybe talking o you about it when I next see you - I cant wait til I can do a bit of travelling myself!
Stay safe, Im sure everyones looking after you there
Much much love

Home comforts Hi Unc,
Thaks for that and thanks so much for arranging my upgrade - it was a very pleasant surprise to say the least! It was really nice fo the First Officer to come down and check I was OK too.
Only problem I have at the moment is that my luggage was held up in Joberg and I still haven't been able to locate it - sniff, sniff, but I'll keeo you up to date on that one.
Otherwise, am loving it!

Well Done Hi Lucy,
I'm glad you had a good trip down to Johannesburg. I have always found the people down there very warm and friendly despite being mainly "as poor as church mice". I look forward to reading about your experiences.
Will be down in Sandton, Johannesburg on the14th and 15th of August so if there is anything you need eg. PG Tips, Brown sauce, Hello magasine etc. do let me know by email.
Kind regards and good luck,
Uncle Keith
Hi everyone I'm Lucy and welcome to my blog for my trip to South Africa from July to September 2007.
I have just finished my second year of Medicine at St. Andrews Univeristy, Scotland, and am travelling to South Africa to do voluntary work in a number of palliative care hospices in the country.
This will be my record of my trip; the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.......you have been warned!... full info
