27. April – Port St. Helena - Asekho Mdaka
Today it is port day three and we are still in St. Helena.In the morning, we were called for swimming at 7am for fitness, most enjoyed the swimming, but I did not swim as it was cold and and I did not feel like it. Others did not like the fact that they were not allowed to jump in. At 7:30am it was breakfast and we ate and went to colours, where we were told that we will be going at 9am but we end up going at 10am.
When we arrived on land we separated as group of fours or more. As we arrived people started going in different directions.`Some went to Napoleon's tomb and his house which is interesting because of the history, while me and my group gathered next to the beach because of Felix enjoying his time snorkeling in the water. He even took pictures under water.
At 12pm we went to eat at Ann's place where we had nice meals, but we did not stay long because Felix could not wait to go again inside the water. So we went for swimming and then we had to go back to the ship because we were going to leave at 4pm. As we arrived at the ship we were called for a meeting with the Captain, telling us what sails will be set for our departure.
After the meeting we went to set the sails and that took about two hours. We went to dinner, straight afterwards Evan called us for another meeting about the position change of different security maneuvers. It looked like it was a day for meetings as we were again called for team S.A meeting that was about feed back about the port days and how do we feel so far. The meeting was helpful as we told our team leaders that we don't like to be called team S.A when we are with the whole Concordia crew and to do separate team SA pics because it makes us excluded from them. For the future we agreed that we will stay behind so that we can take our own pic and they should call us just South Africans.
I enjoyed that day because it was my last day on the Island.
