A week of hanging out with my mom in Africa and I am utterly exhausted. Being a tourist is much more tiring than working at an office.
Since there has been a dearth of photos lately in my posts I'll make this one a photo entry.
Saturday: Mother arrives and my bed gets a little bit smaller
Sunday: We walk around a lot and enjoy the nice weather. An introduction to a relaxing lifestyle
Monday: The back-breaking adventure begins with a safari (and ends with eating the animals that we saw: springbok, ostrich, wildebeest oh yum!)
Tuesday: Penguin day! Nuff said.
Wednesday: The mountain climbing excursion that almost was. It turned into a stroll/hike along the top of Table Mountain.
Thursday: Kirstenbosch Gardens (mother loves her plants) and then the World of Birds (and monkeys). This one deserves two photos because the two places are as different as morning and.. afternoon.
Friday:
Mom "I've never been drunked before"
D, Spanish friend who drove us around the wine lands that day, "there is a first time for everything"
Dutiful daughter "and it might as well be in South Africa"
Saturday: From the Biscuit Mill to passing out soup and bread to the squatter camps near the airport to dinner at the Water Front - a final tour of the many dichotomies of South Africa.
et fin
