Evey's World trip!
Back at Cape Town!
Hi everyone!
Well we've arrived safely back at cape town after a week in Durban with Danielle's family. It was fantastic! Tony and Adrienne who we stayed with were amazing they took us to loads of great places that we would never had the oppurtunity to see or even understand if we were alone. I suppose i'll just list all the things we've done, first of all we went to a place called the shark board. Its like a shark museum but they also work on protecting swimmers from sharks by putting shark nets in the ocean. Every now and then sharks are caught in them and they are brought to the board to be dissected. The public can view this and we got the chance to! It was pretty gross but really interesting.
We also went to PheZulu, which is north of Durban in Zululand. At PheZule they show you how the Zulu's live and all about their traditions and they do performances for you. It was fantastic and behind the Rondavals (round huts) was the most amazing view. Its called the valley of the 100 hills and it was the most spectacular scenery. We also had lunch that day at a hotel which had an amazing view of this too.
We had a day at the mall where Danni and I actually managed to restrain ourselves and not buy anything apart from a pair of flip flops each!! Danni and I also went to a wet park and behaved like children for the day splashing in the water and shooting down slides!! Thge park also had an aquarium where you could look at loads of different fish and sharks! This massive jellyfish scared the be jesus out of me when it turned on its side and swam against the class! Danni near wet herself laughing at me!
We also had a day driving down the coast too stopping at various places... we even went to a fish and chip place!! I had pie though of course like a true wigan lass! Get in! We went to the beach for a paddle and Dannielle got soaked right up to the belly by a HUGE wave... then it was turn to wet myself laughing!!
Tony and Adrienne's son and daughter in law Matthew and Betty took us out to see and sample the Durban nightlife on Saturday and we went to a cocktail bar called Billy Bum's and a club called Tiger Tiger (just like manchester!!) We really enjoyed ourselves all week.... especially since they were all so nice and absolutely hilarious! I swear I've not laughed so much in ages!! Plus Adrienne is a really good cook so we had some lovely home cook grub!
Once again Adrienne, Tony, Matthew and Betty thank you for being so ace!!! It was magic and we had the time of our lives!
The best bit though was yesterday... we went to Hlwslui (i really can't remember how to spell it off the top of my head!) game park on safari! It was the most amaxing experience ever to date!! We sawe so many animals in their natural habitat which we would never have had the opportunity to do. Everyone laughed at me cos i wouldn't even get out of the car to take picture of baboons cos i was so scared... i even made danni come to the loo with me! We saw giraffe, elephant, water buffalo, zebra and loads more!
I've taken loads of photos in durban and will be posting them on here soon with captions but at the mo i'm so hot i'm gonna have to get away from this computer!
Despite having such a great time I'm missing everyone loads and thinking about you daily!
Much love,
Evey xxxxxxx
