Two days ago I have arrived safly in Cape Town. The flights were alright. From Frankfurt to Dubai was packed, but from Dubai to Cape Twon I had two seats and as a result that was flight was much more comfortable.
My 'mentor' Lionel picked my up from the airport, even though he didn't have a sign with my name, I"ve spotted him quite quickly. He then drove me to my to be hostfamily. The Family, as well as Lionel, are really nice amd welcomed me with a tea. Remebered my of good old England. The family has 3 children but the oldest is married and has 2 boys of his own now. But when I arrived he and his sons were around as well. I share my room with the youngest son, who is 16 and attends high school. The doughter, born in the middle, works during the day and attends college in the evening. When I started unpacking, it became clear quickly that i had brought to much stuff, even though I only had 29,8kg (aloud were 30kg, how perfect was that?). So I had trouble getting it all into the draws.
The family does not have internet at home, so I am in an internetcafe right now.
My first night in my new home was good. I managed to sleep unbeatable 14hours! But I stayed in and on my bed most of the first day reading, listening to music and similar. I also made a few pictures of the grandchildren and my bed, which will be uploaded here and maybe an facebook soon. But I didn't unpack my laptop yet, so I didn't but the pictures on a stick yet.
Thanks for all ur text's with good wishes.
I will meet the head of the girls home soon next week, till then I will have time to get used to the life here.
So bye for now.

Now I have only one week left till leaving Germany. Well that is at least the plan. I still do not have my visa, but I'm filled with hope as I did not hear anything from the consulate after the last fax. So hopefully they got everything now. In which case I should get it tomorrow or the day after.
Hope dies the last, right?
