It took 12 hours to get here cause I am in Cape Town but I suppose it was worth it in a way. We got here on the 16th which was a Sunday. Yayyyz?
Since we have been playing African Monopoly for like three days now in a row. We are sad. I got thrown into a pool and got soaked and we decided to go swimming last night it was fucking freezing. lol . We have this alarm system thing in the house we are staying in and we haven’t yet figured out how to use it which is scary cause we had to have people in to fix it cause the alarm went off every two seconds they found out that literally every door in the house can’t lock. Now every time the alarm goes off we all run and hide in case somebody is trying to break in.
Atm I can’t be bothered typing. I am in a Internet cafe thing with my mums bf’s son cause my mum, sister and mum’s bf have gone to look for an inflatable shark and i don’t want to go with them and the keyboard is like slipping down with every letter i type.
I will update when i get back, soo byeess.
[[Update]]
So I just got back from Africa today, 6′o’clock this morning, fun fun fun. Tiring actually. The holiday all in all was okay, we all argued loads though cause we are not used to spending time together. If we stayed one week longer we would all come back nearly dead. I still can’t type, I have forgotten how to do everything so every word I type I type around three times.
I nearly died in Africa, it wasn’t fun, I was jumping waves or something and I nearly drowned but I didn’t, I cut all my leg and hurt my foot instead. I also nearly died when we went to robben island which was where Nelson Mandela stayed for 27? years. Anyway we went on Safari and saw different animals and stuff in the wild and I am gonna TRY and name all the animals I saw cause I’m sad. Lol.
- Hippos
- Elephants
- Giraffes
- Rhino
- Lions
- Ostrich
- Gazelle things
- Crocodile
- Leopards.
I know there were more but I can’t remember and I didn’t take any pictures cause the camera wasn’t working properly.
My mum’s boyfriend has friends in Africa because he used to live there for like four years, so the reason we went there was to meet his friends, which were actually quite amazing. We saw them quite a lot and went out with them for meals and other stuff like that.
We stayed in Cape Town right next to Table Mountain, actually I think it was more as ‘on’ Table Mountain, anyway, we stayed in a villa which actually had 4? bedrooms, anyway my mum and her boyfriend stayed in the one, my mum’s boyfriend’s son in the other one and I shared the twin room with my sister cause I was scared to stay downstairs on my own in that house, it was actually quite a scary house, opposite there was another villa and nobody lived in it but we could see a shadow constantly walking past or staring out the window. Freaky. Anyway, my mum’s boyfriends son, (I’m sick of calling him that, I’m just gonna call him Tom.) So Tom, is scared of everything, he thought he heard scratching on the floor of his room on the night where we had to get up at 5 in the morning, so we were all awake with him shouting ‘I’m not sleeping in there!!!!’. So he and my sister swapped and I had to stay with him which ment when we woke up at five that morning (for safari thing), we were all shattered.
We also went up Table Mountain in a cable car, which is scary for people who are afraid of heights. It was freezing.
Now to the ‘poverty side’ of things, it was quite surreal. We were coming back from somewhere, I can’t remember where, (me and my shit memory), and there were loads of shacks no bigger than sheds? or something like that, it was really quite different just to see that, the kids in Africa were in school at the time because as where I’m on summer holidays, they switch years in January, which makes more sense, and you could see them walking back from the school to the shacks and the school was no bigger than a normal small house. Everywhere you stopped on a road there would be people running up to the car windows and asking you to buy what there selling, that could range from a picture, to a phone charger, to a big issue mag, sometimes you would see a person sat in the middle of the road holding up a sign saying ‘Please help me…..’ I did my bit and I gave a pizza to homeless people. Lol. They really appreciated it though.
Africa was quite fun. (:
