Days 3 and 4

Day 3: Durbanville.

At Sugar, my local cafe

Day 3, we're off to Durbanville and the home so I can show Mum and Cheryl where I've been living and working these last 2 years. I first took them into town to grab a coffee in the cafe I frequent and to try some biltong! We then headed back and I gave them a tour of the children's home as well as introducing them to my manager and two of the social workers I've worked with. We also had some one-on-one time with one of the younger girls who I've done a lot of work with.

I managed to persuade mum before she came out, to do something with the kids for music therapy so she showed them her ssssss-in-a-box and played some songs they knew on my violin before I took over and we did our usual routine.

In the evening I took mum and Cheryl to drumming which they loved-obviously! And I can finally say I'm better at something musical than my Mum!

Day 4: Simon's Town.

Because the morning coffee photo was Cheryl's thing, I wasn't actually here for this picture!

Day 4, this morning me and Mum split from Cheryl as she's going climbing in Montague for the weekend. The pair of us went to Simon's Town to see the penguins and some Dassies (also known as rock hyrax and are apparently related to the elephant) then on to Cape Point where we saw loads of baboons and an ostrich at this rate we won't need to go on safari. I've learnt that the Indian and Atlantic oceans don't actually meet at the Cape of Good Hope, but further down the coast at Cape Agulhas! As we were driving along we saw various warning signs at different points along out route and in this order: Warning: Penguins! Warning: Baboons! Warning: Leopard Frogs! and lastly, Warning: Golfers!

Having not eaten much all day, we headed to Kalky's for a fish and chip supper by the sea. I'm absolutely shattered now!
