Living the dream!
by: JaneProgram: Marine Conservation in Cape TownLiving the dream! It’s been fab so far. Weather hasn’t been great but we’ve been kept entertained on no sea days, wine tasting, trips out etc. I’ve been feeding the penguins daily, cage dived with Bronze Whaler sharks and watched Southern Right whales breaching. We’ve also had informative lectures, even one on wine! Loving every minute!
Thanks so much for organising this for me
