CAPETOWN

Date: 3rd February 2009

CAPETOWN Hi folks.  Sorry I didn't write last week but I've had endless troubles with the Internet. Came back to stunningly beautiful Capetown and found that virtually all my methods of communication were up the spout.  Anyway, I hope it's all sorted now. Yserfontein -  Friends took me to lunch at... Read more...
