A South African Teacher's Adventures In & Out of the Global Classroom

The accommodation and excursions in this post have NOT been sponsored. For some reason (I can’t name why), everyone has heard of this city but no can actually name what its famous for. And truthfully I can see why; there are no huge attractions in…
