POSTCARD : SOUTH AFRICA

Dearest Roman, Mummy is in South Africa! Aunty Grace is here too!  I'm doing a nail workshop at a festival called StreetCred in Johannesburg. This is my first time in Africa and its amazing! The kids here have so much style, there's so much colour and history in the way they dress mixing new Western street and skate brands with their traditional African heritage. Did you know there are 11 "official" languages spoken in South Africa that denote the 11 tribes? Apparently you can just tell by looking at someone's facial features what tribe they are from and then you address them in their language accordingly. It's fascinating. We have eaten at some incredible restaurants. Last night I ate a fish patty which tasted African, West Indian and a bit Latin all in one. And we've also been to some amazing parties including one at a club called Bassline where there was a Rastafarian dancehall rave! I feel incredibly lucky to be able to experience so many cultures from around the world and I hope you feel so too. You know I always try and book us a holiday after I've been away from you and next week we are going to Morocco! I can't wait. Two Africa trips in one week! Love u miss u big kiss Xxx
