Wow ..... so now I'm back in England which all feels very odd after a month! Its light a bit late here which is very confusing after a month of it getting light really early haha (: & its been SO hot here compared to that last day in SA!! Haha (:
Its been such an amazing & eye opening experience I don't even know where to begin. The country is so different, yet so similar. So modern yet so old. So rich yet so poor. Its all very strange. It has been such a fantastic opportunity, & I am SO glad I went, & had the option to do it! I would love to go back one day, maybe even live there.
Everyone I have met has been so friendly and helpful. I couldn't have asked for anything more.
A massive thank you to Anna at the Guesthouse, who was lovely & looked after me. She was so kind, & always made sure I was OK! Lovely to be able to stay somewhere I felt safe & welcome.
An even bigger thank you to the people who made this possible! Thank you to Ian & Brian who managed to take time out their extremely busy schedules to organise my time out in SA, & did so very well indeed! I can't thank them both enough for all that they have done for me.
Thanks to Tony, Trish & Dad for being able to fuel my idea & getting the ball rolling! Without the 3 of you, none of this would have been possible in the first place so thanks!! Trish - thank you for taking the time to contact all the right people, & for caring about making my experience worthwhile!
Thanks to the staff at the 3 clinics/hospitals I spent time at. To Ian at Helen Jospeh, Gillian & Briony at ACTS, and Evah & Esther at Witbank. To all the friendly and lovely people who managed to put up with me for a few hours or days at all 3 places a big thank you! You have all taught me so much, & every single person I met couldn't have been nicer to me, or more willing to teach me something new about their fantastic country.
To Nicola & Kat in JoBurg, and Meghan at ACTS - thanks girls for taking the time out to take me out! All very worthwhile & different experiences! Very good to spend some time with the locals doing something! I would have been so bored without all you guys!! (:
& very importantly a MASSIVE thank you to Mummy & Daddy Bird for making my dreams come true (: nothing I can do will ever make up for this so from the bottom of my heart the biggest thank you ever!
& to all of you reading this ... thanks for taking the time to follow my adventure!! Its certainly been the best time of my life, & being able to share it has been wicked :D so thanks to you all for your support & hope you have enjoyed reading about my travels as much as I have enjoyed doing them!!
Love to all!
