I saw the back of President Mbeki's head! It's true. He came to wee Simons Town to see the navy and hung around for speeches and a parade. God bless South Africa's lack of security detail, as that slight laspe in personal safety meant that I got to be about one metre from the president of a whole country! Ah, my little political heart is beating rapidly...
And, it gets better. I went on a boat! Yes, a real live boat that took me out to sea. I saw the lounging seals of Seal Island as they basked and baked in the delicious sun. My hydrophobia stayed in full-swing through most of the sloshy journey, but years of spinning on ice have given me a super trained brain and I was able to focus on an object to ward off seasickness that attempted to pirate the food from my stomach.
Yes, the last week has been grand indeed! Tomorrow...A class at BI. Hmmm. But I'll let you know how that goes.
