Hey!! Time is flying by and I only have 3 more days left at St. George’s now before I start my last week of volunteering at the Red Cross Children’s Hospital. The weekend before I went to Port Elizabeth, I went to go see Alex at Ashanti in Cape Town. We decided to (I made […]
After I had finished my scuba diving course, I thought I would challenge myself just a little bit further by trying some suurfing! It didn’t take long before I learned that surfing is not easy! I knew it would be difficult, because I’ve never quite understood how those surfers get up on their boards, but that I […]
It was the last day of our scuba diving Open Water course and I would probably rank it as one of the top 10 days in my life. I still can’t believe it really took place, it did indeed feel like it was a bit too good to be true and I feel extremely privileged and […]
Hello! Last week, I had one of the best weeks of my life. It has been like living a dream and I’ve enjoyed every moment of it! I thought I would share my week with you day by day because there has been a lot going on! Just to brake it to you, I did […]
Sunday morning Lucy, Sylvia, Tina, Helene and I were driving around the streets of Cape town at 5:30 am!! We were going kayaking and seeing as it was 6am, we got to see the sunrise! Heather’s son Aiden and Ed also came with us and what a morning it was! There wasn’t a cloud on […]
You can’t go to Cape Town and not go to Robben Island, so after 5 weeks over here, Alex and I had booked tickets to go there on Saturday. We hadn’t exactly taken into consideration that Friday was Halloween, and so we trotted down to the Waterfront Saturday morning with a slight headache being quite […]
If you’re missing the sun up in Europe – the numerous sun pictures in this post might make up for it 🙂 Yes, I am a sunset person – I could watch sunsets all day long and not get tired of it. So that’s why I brought Amalie and Alex with me to a restaurant […]
Sunday last week was an absolutely gorgeous day; sun, 30 degrees and blue sky – anyone up in Europe slightly jealous of this weather? (Although I must admit I do miss big sweaters and cold days at times). Seeing at it was such a beautiful day, I decided to drag Amalie with me again and […]
After Amalie, Alex, and my visit to Bo-Kaap on Saturday, we strolled to the Greenmarket Square, which is just a 5 minute walk from Bo-Kaap. Off to the market we went! There is a market at the Greenmarket Square every day until 5pm. Selling anything from bags, to paintings to jewelry, small giraffe and elephant statues, clothes, bags – […]
Molo! Last Saturday there was a new norwegian girl who arrived in Cape Town through Ed and Heather’s organization (so happy I’m norwegian these days, haha!). Her name is Amalie and she is 19 years old and is traveling alone as well. She will be volunteering at another orphanage, but I will get to see her […]
