hello! I am now in Kruger National PArk which is roughly the size of isreal! It is so amazing we have seen four out of the Big Five so far: leopard (eating an impala), Elephant, Rhino, Water Buffalo and we are waiting to see a lion. We've also seen hippos, bushbabys, tons of giraffe, kudu, hyena and tons of different small cats. And we still have a game drive to go. I have pictures but nothing can do in justice being right there with these wild animals is so thrilling. I can't believe how lucky I am. I have just gotten over a nasty stomach bug. It was horrible so I missed a few activities and a lot of the night life in Cape Town. But I have so many experiences already that i am not even fazed, just glad it is over and to have food in my stomach. We went sandboarding which is snowboarding but on beautiful fine white sand dunes and went up to table mountain that literally feels like you are on top of the whole world. I also got to go to Robben island where nelson mandela was kept prisoner. It was so amazing because an ex political prisoner showed us around and was talking about being tortured by the police and stuff, so intense. I will fill in the gaps when I go home tomorrow, thanks for those of you that have followed my blog I have such brillant support back home and I know that I am truly blessed. Thank you for everyone that was thinking and praying and supporting me. this was an experience of a lifetime and I will never forget the memories I have made. I love all of you so much, Hannah

hello again from cape town
We just got into cape town after a 9 hour bus ride. Ugh. But it is soooo cool here I love it already it is a cross between new york and san francisco. I have beeen up to so much. I did the WORLD's BIGGEST bungee jump!!!!! It was the most amazing feeling ever just falling off the bridge but I do confess that as the man was pulling me up I had to hold onto his leg for a bit just cause I felt uneasy being so high and not having anything to hold on to. Then we went whale watching which was brillant. I got to see all of these whales and seals up close to the boat. So amazing. We also did a tree top canopy tour in the tsitsicama national park. We just zipped through the trees on cables and stuff. We also visited an ostrich farm which was very disturbing a bit like going to a slaughter house in my opinion. But that morning we went to these amazing deep caves with huge caverns and crazy rock formations from water. Then we went further back into the cave in some very tight spaces at one point we all justy had to wiggle through on our stomach up a shaft. But seeing the caves was totally worth it. Then we biked down from the mountain for a couple hours which was beautiful and went on a four hour ocean hike which was also beautiful. There is so much scenery to see even the drives are an adventure and a site in themselves. I am loving everything so much I can't tell you what an adventure I am having. Love H
