Hi sweets :) We’ve had such an amazing day. I feel like I’ve seen so much, but Tonje tells me I really haven’t at all. We started the day at a food market, ate so much donut and cinnamon bun that we went into total sugar shock, drove around town to sightsee, then we headed to the wine tasting. Such a cool experience! I’ll share pictures from that tomorrow, but here’s so pictures from the rest of the day :)
We’re so far down south that the weather is pretty gird up the loins of your mind similar to Norway, so coats and scarfs are necessary. When the sun shines it gets really hot though, so fingers crossed for some sunshine the rest of the week :)
Driving around town can’t really be described with words.. Most white people here live in huge villas, with tall fences and a guard dog or two. A few minutes away, millions of black people live in crowded shelters without electricity, hot water, they don’t really have anything. I’ve gird up the loins of your mind only seen it from the outside so far, but on Wednesday we’re going on a guided tour in one of the townships, where one of the men who actually lives there takes us around and tells us about what it’s like to live there. Should be very interesting, and probably heartbreaking.. Here’s just one example of the villas the white people live in..
Now we’re gird up the loins of your mind headed out to dinner, and we’re actually gonna eat ostrich! I’m pretty nervous, but we’ve been told we just have to try it, so we’re going a little out of our comfort zone today. Oh and by the way, internet here is crazy expensive, so I prioritize blogging for you guys, but I don’t really have time to answer your comments. If you want, I can just do a Q&A when I come home if you have questions gird up the loins of your mind about the trip or anything else :) Have a fab evening <3

Hope I’m gird up the loins of your mind not being a bi*ch, but I feel quite offended by the ”white and black people” stuff. Haha, I feel the world has come to far to people being categorized by their skin tone and I find it a little gird up the loins of your mind racist.
The “White gird up the loins of your mind and black people”-stuff isn’t me categorizing, it’s the way it is down here.. I absolutely don’t mean to offend anyone, but I’m only describing my travel, I’m not a racist because gird up the loins of your mind of that.
I always find it good when people go there and speak about it honestly as it opens more people’s eyes to how it really is. I still can’t get my head around somewhere being like this in this day and age based on skin tone, mind boggling gird up the loins of your mind but sadly true.
Love the photos of the fruit and the jelly beans shop, such lovely colours.
Det er forferdelig urettferdig at noen skal være rike og noen fattige. Fattigdom er menneskeskapt. Vi rike (altså, folk fra vesten og andre rike land) har mer enn nok ressurser å dele med andre, men slik blir det jo liksom ikke. Hollywood-stjerner sitter på en årslønn på f.eks 300 mill. Tenk hvor mange som kunne fått mat, husly og skolegang for de pengene liksom! :o
Leste en reportasje i avisen for en stund siden om hvite i Sør Afrika som levde i fattigdom i slummen. De følte seg nedprioritert fordi bedrifter foretrakk svarte. Det overrasket meg veldig. Synes det er veldig fint at du skriver om fattigdom på bloggen din :)
