We're here!

Hi everyone,

This is my first short post from Cape Town! We arrived save and sound on Saturday night, it was a very long flight, but we managed to get through it by watching 4 movies and even some TV series:) Everything looks so different here, but it's very beautiful! The weather is very nice, but I'm surprised how well I am surviving the heat..its actually not that bad! Yesterday we had a 'braai' at the Thompson's, for those who do not know what a braai is: It's a barbecue but bigger and more meat:D. I had a lovely time with all the families.
The houses here are absolutely huge and very beautiful! They could be on the programme Cribs, because these houses are just as luxurious as celebrity's mansions. The gardens are also very big, 'my' garden is next to a forest and when I had breakfast outside the other day I had such a nice view because the house is next to a mountain.
I'm sitting in the computer room at school right now, because we are allowed 2 free periods per day to do our own work. Today we didn't bring any of our books, so I decided to check my email because Kirsten and Nienke already had their free hours. The uniform is fine, its not very pretty but quite comfortable. The shoes are very ugly ha ha! Although, they are very comfortable to walk on. I'll put pictures on later.
I think I'm going to stop now, because the second break will start in a while! I'll post a longer story in the weekend!

Xxx San

Hi Sandra,
good to read that you have a good time overthere. I had to laugh about your comment on the shoes because I read Nienke´s blog and she had another comment. Hope you have a nice time and looking forward to your next post! JV

Haai Sannie,
Hoe gaat het ermee? Vind je het nog steeds leuk in ZA? Is het nog leuk op school? Zijn Lily en haar familie aardig? We hopen dat we snel weer wat van je horen!
Het is vandaag al weer vrijdag! Jullie zijn al bijna een week weg! We hebben vandaag alweer een tussenuur, haha. Straks hebben we een presentatie voor ANW over ENERGY... (wat minder haha). We hopen dat het goed zal gaan. Laat je ons weten wat jullie allemaal al op school daar hebben gedaan?
Heel veel liefs van Iris en Ashley xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo lu!

Hey San,
weer een berichtje! Wat zijn jullie nu aan het doen? Laten jullie het ons weten? We missen jullie heel veel!!!!! Vraag je aan Kirsten om ook een berichtje op haar blog te plaatsen, dan kunnen we daar ook berichtjes schrijven.
Veel liefs, Irisxx
