Chessells in Africa: Chessells in Africa:


Thurs 3rd Oct

Sorry for failing to update for a couple of days but yesterday we were travelling all day.  We left our rented place at 8:45am, said goodbye to K & Zoe, driving via the Lighthouse school for a worship time, then on to see the new land with S where we were picked up by a driver who took us via the scenic route to the airport. This gave us the opportunity to see South Mauritius having spent the last 6 days in the north.  Some wild and rugged beaches!

For the rest of the day we were in airports or in the air making our way to Cape Town.  We arrived at our accomm around 12:15am tired and exhausted. Our landlord had to give us the whole run of the place in minute detail so I collapsed into bed about 12:45am & Keith 1:15am after he spent an hour trying to log into the internet(didn’t work, hence no update).

Today we have spent time seeing beautiful Cape Town by bus. It certainly is a gorgeous part of the world. We made it to the top of Table Mt however the view was somewhat compromised by the cloud that sits there(part of the legend of the mountain).  We spend some time wandering around the waterfront which was inspired by Sydney’s Darling Harbour precinct. So much going on it was fun! One highlight was watching a group of kinder age children dancing in the main square to an African band-amazing natural rhythm.

Our challenge tonight is to find an internet café so we can send this update.
We did it! New learning experience every day.
