South Africa - on the tour bus!

On Monday 4 June the grade 2's were officially in South Africa. They were met by two tour guides who were to take the children around to show them some of the highlights of the South African leg of their world trip.


The tour starts here!

The 'tourists' were collected from their classrooms, passports in hand and taken to their tour bus.

 On the whirlwind tour the tourists were shown, the training ground of Bafana Bafana, the pool where the South African Olympic hopeful Chad Le Clos trains, a hospital where they learnt about Dr Christaan Barnard the first man to do a heart transplant. They were lucky enough to stop off at a 'game reserve' where they looked out for the big five. We also took a tour of the squatter housing where the likes of Mr Nelson Mandela would have spent time in his youth.

They were lucky enough to be able to sample biltong and koeksisters, typical South African food. After a few more stops, the tourists were dropped back at school after a very interesting morning.
