Spring Break Part 3. The Waterfront and Table Mountain...

We finally arrived in Cape Town after many days and hours of getting lost. We headed down to this area called the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront where there are tons of ritzy shops to window shop in and millions of restaurants. I touched everything until it started to blur and watched street performers sing and dance and play the bongos. We ate lunch at a picnic table on the water and watched the boats come in. The sky was blue and it was relaxing (comparatively to jumping of bridges it least).



The next day after getting significantly lost again we head to this big mountain in Cape Town called Table Mountain. Thinking it was the normal thing to do to hike up it we started on the trail around noon. Ok, bad idea. Our waterbottles were not full and after reading a few signs we were warned that this hike was NOT FOR BEGINNERS. Oh well, after feeling delirous after climbing what seemed like endless rock stairs-ish for 3 hours we made it to the top only a little bit dehydrated. The view was awesome of the ocean and we took the cable car down. A well spent $5 if i say so. If you are going to hike table mountiain remember more than a half bottle of water and pleast do it before noon. There is no shade. The adventure continues...
