Arrivel in Cape Town SA

Hi there everyone,

I arrived save and slept well on the plane. I'm staying in a Lodge in just outside the center. 9 people all together in our little place, 5 English Girls, 2 Dutch girls(who i am in a room with), 1 Swiss Doctor Lady and 1 man from Lichenstine (i know that spelling must be wrong but there is only 35ooo who live there anyway) We all went out on the first night to a pol bar and had a laugh. Think i am the instigator so planning a trip to the wine area this weekend and staying over so ill let you know how that goes too. A girl called Claire is a medical student and i get on well with her and she has a car so wine road trip, i think!!
Also my first day in the hospital, which went well. Caught a mini cab there,which is the local transport, load and colourful on the inside but just like a white van on the inside. (cost 60p for a 15min trip) Met other volunteers from the US, SA and UK and plated with the toy etc. Think ill give it a mouth and then maybe ask to shadow some of the doctors, which seems to be possible.
Anyhow some photos of where im staying, bed, kitchen etc.if not on today i will try again over the weekend at its taking a long time to upload
