Unfortunately I am unable to transfer some lovely photos I have from Walvis Bay so shall just have to be patient and keep trying.
We have a day at sea today full of information meetings about South Africa. We had a very knowledgeable panel of South Africans answering questions which I think was extremely helpful.
I am meeting 3 friends at a mall close to where we shall be anchored on the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront tomorrow. Strange to think we were all 'boarders' together at St Cyprians so many years ago and are still in touch: Jean, Sally and Phillida. We slept in the same dorm., got up to the same mischief and did our obligatory punishments along side each other. We've travelled alot of miles since then and are yet stll very comfortable with each other. A true definition of friendship I think.
George and I shall be sleeping on board and going out on trips. he is taking students to the Afrikaans language Museum and then we're going on the the lovely old manor house Boschendal and having lunch and drinking their wine.
The ship has been ploughing through large swells on a mainly calm sea blowing the fog horn all morning but the sun has finally won the battle and we can now see blue sunny skies. i am hoping like mad that there won't be fog for our entry into Table Bay tomorrow; that would be such a disappointment.
