South Africa III

The morning after Stellenbosch, Katie, Tess and Megan had left early because Katie and tess were running the 5K in Cape Town and Megan had a field trip.  When we woke up, we had a cab coming at 10 so we sat and talked to the 2 british girls that shared our room with us.  They were so cool.  They were on “holiday” as they say and they are in med school.  They were so nice and were just asking us about Semester at Sea and what else we were going to be doing in Cape Town because they had just came from there.  We got our taxi at 10 back to Cape Town and our driver kept telling us to climb table mountain that day because they were calling for bad winds the other 2 days we were there.  We did not listen to him because we were scheduled to hike table mountain on Sunday, our last day there.  So instead we just shopped the whole day… because by the time we got back to the ship and showered and got ready for the day and waited for Katie and Tess it was close to 1 so we just decided to wander around the wharf and go to the mall and craft markets and just get our shopping in for the day.  So it was a pretty chill day.  That night, we had reservations for Mama Africa’s which is a restaurant on Long Street.  We got ready pretty early and then walked out to the rocks and watched some of the sunset before heading to dinner.  The inside of Mama Africa’s is so cute!  It’s decorated in like bamboo walls almost and all these African decorations.  They also had a live band that night which was awesome.  The singer sounded like a girl but he was actually a guy and they were playing like recent songs but with an African flare to it.  Dinner was so good too!  I had chicken mango kebabs and they were amazing. After dinner, we decided to call it a night early because our bodies needed a rest.  So yea… that was the 3rd day...it was pretty relaxing.
We get to Ghana tomorrow and it is the first time in a long time that I am not updated on the previous port before arriving at the next and I am so sorry.  Time seems to be going in fast forwarded and I don't know where my days go!  I have also been trying to catch up on work also so journaling took a back seat.
Talk to you after Ghana!!
