Today I am reaaallllyyyy excited!! My host mum told me she had a nice surprise for me.....but first we are going on a mini road trip to get there........
Here I am with some Alwyne along the way. They are indigenous to South Africa and sometimes used to make Aloe. Also in the background you can see the the bright yellow Canola fields. They make Canola oil from it.....hhmmm you know what grapes are good at making???
