With everything coming to a close in three weeks, it seems
as though everyone is trying to pack as much into every free moment as
possible. As far as adventures go, I finally got to hike Table last Monday,
which was about several months too late, but better late than never. It was so
beautiful up there, but since we went through a bit of a cold spell, I was
freezing up at the top. Amelia and I decided to break free from the group and
take the cable car down to the bottom. It felt a little bit like a cop out,
however I have always wanted to see the view from up there, and after doing
that hike, I didn’t think I was going to be making my way up to the top again
anytime soon. The cable car was so much bigger than I had imagines it to be. I
would guess that somewhere around 20 people could fit inside of it, and the
whole floor rotated so you could see the view from many different angles. It
was pretty awesome, except for that I wasn’t too close to the window. I would
definitely recommend finding a good spot as soon as you get into the car, and
then holding your ground. People in there can be a little crazy…but I suppose
that’s to be expected considering that Table is now one of the Seven Natural Wonders of
the World.
This past weekend, I mostly did low-key activities. It seems
as though I’ve done most of the things that were on my Cape Town “bucket list”,
so really all I’m trying to get around to now are shops and restaurants. This
works out well, because I still have a lot of souvenirs and presents to buy for
friends and family back home. The real challenge is proving to be getting
people to actually share what kinds of things they want me to bring back for
them. Then again, I could probably bring back a rock and people would be
excited about it coming from Africa.
Tonight is First Thursday, which is basically when a lot of
restaurants, stores and art galleries stay open late and people can mill around
and check out what they have to offer. I went to this last month, and it was
absolutely awesome. Unfortunately, last month we didn’t get there until pretty
late, and we ate beforehand so we missed out on some of the best stuff there.
We will be attending a play later in the evening, so hopefully tonight we will
be able to get there pretty early, so as to not miss out on any of the stuff
from last week! I’m already thinking about what I’m going to order at Honest
Chocolate…
