Hi!!! Welcome to pizzadogs!
the start
This is my first post! I will try to post three times a week: Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
Each day will have a theme: Trip Tuesday, where I will be talking about my travels. Thought Thursday, where I will be sharing my thoughts on things. And Story Saturday, where I will be telling a continuous story.
Trip Tuesdays
The Recap
I’ve been in Cape Town for over a month, and it’s been fun. I’ve seen penguins, seals, and very impoverished people. But my favorite part is probably a gelato place called Gelato Mania. I’m sad that it’s coming to an end. I just hope I look back on this blog fondly.

Look, I know I said that I would stop making Thought Thursdays on signs, but I made no promises on Trip Tuesdays. So here we go, I think this sign is funny but also smart.
Seals!
Today we went on a harbor cruse, it was pretty fun. They talked about all the famous land marks such as the Alfred Basin and the swing bridge. The swing bridge is the same thing as a draw bridge except it swings to the side in stead of drawing up. The swing bridge replaced the penny ferry that saved workers a half an hour walk. The penny ferry only costed a penny but the swing bridge is completely free. Another thing we saw were the cape fur seals.
Here’s what they sound like:
Thought Thursdays
Update
I just left Cape Town, and I’m kind of sad. It was fun being in Cape Town, but it might be more fun being in Kruger National Park. As soon as we arrived, I knew it was going to be fun. They have three modified Toyota Land Cruisers that they take out at dawn and dusk on safaris. You have to wake up at 5:30 to catch the dawn safari though. Just so you know, I will not be posting for a little bit, as I may not have access to the internet.
Loo With A View
Look I know I said I would stop making Thought Thursdays on signs, but this is different. I have another picture, and I thought it was funny. Basically the place with the ‘stupidity is not a disability’ sign is a wine region, and the views are great. The only sad part is that you’re looking at the cape flats which is on my places to avoid in South Africa list. Anyway the reason we were there was because my dad wanted to do their wine tastings. After my dad was done with his wine, and I was done with my tasty sourdough bread, we passed by the loo with the view and thought ‘we have to do this’. The bathroom had nothing special in it. The loo was normal and so was the sink, but there was a window overlooking the fields of grapes. That probably was one of the best bathroom experiences I’ve had, so just remember Beau Constantia has the Loo With The View.
short post
I’m gonna be talking about this sign because I think its placed in a bad spot. You can’t see it, but it’s half way up the line, meaning you could of waited hours to get there and had to turn around because of it.
You may have noticed that I’ve made three Thought Thursdays on signs. I’ll try to make posts that aren’t centered around a sign in the future though.
Story Saturdays
The Aftermath
After they crashed, James claimed that it was all Miss Cackleberys’ fault, although they both knew it was James’. He still blamed Miss Cackleberys for their crash, and as the sun sank low into the sky it became clear that they needed to find somewhere to sleep. As the sun set, James decided to try to make a shelter by leaning a big stick against a tree, and adding more sticks leaning on the bigger stick, and finally adding some leaves on the ground. After the construction of his base, he proceeded to ban Miss Cackleberys from it, and after a hard day of waking up in Miss Cackleberys house, making a boat, crashing it, and then making a shelter, James finally fell asleep.
Shipwreck!
As James and Miss Cackleberys went on, it became more apparent that their boat was starting to break. The first sign of it falling apart was when one of the logs that they used to make the boat flew off into the river, then another one did the exact same thing. Soon enough James and Miss Cackleberys were clinging on to one log soaring down the river. Miss Cackleberys was able to shift her weight to get them ashore. Unfortunately they are still very far from where Miss Cackleberys wants them to be so she must figure out how to get there.
It’s A Boat (Kind Of)
It had become clear to Miss Cackleberys that James was not going to be able to walk all the way to where Miss Cackleberys wanted. She wasn’t sure how to get him there until she realized, they were walking right next to a river, they could make a boat! “James!” she snaped.
“What?” James asked.
“Grab some logs were going to make a boat,” instructed Miss Cackleberys.
Neither of them knew how to make a boat, but after some trial and error they made a small raft.
They put it in the water and went down the river both not knowing that the straw they used to put the boat together was slowly coming undone.
