What an absolutely beautiful day in Cape Town! There wasn’t a cloud in the sky as we stepped out of the hotel around 11am to take the blue line of the Cape Town City Sightseeing Tour Bus. We hopped off the bus at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Imizamo Yethu Township (where we were able to have a guided tour from one of the men who lived there), and Camps Bay. My original plan was to just run along the coast from Camps Bay to Sea Point, but it was so pretty outside we stayed to play on the beach a little. It was so incredibly beautiful. Don't believe me? Check out the picture. The water was cold, but no colder some of the days on Fisher Island!
For dinner we went to Mama Africa, a somewhat touristy, but fun place. I wasn’t gutsy enough to try the ostrich or anything like that, but I did enjoy out the catch of the day as a local band played. After dinner we headed back to the waterfront to meet up with Josh, one of my friends from UNC, and some of his newest friends, who are also FIFA volunteers, to watch the game between Mexico and France. It was amazing to me how many Englishmen are here, and how hard they were cheering for Mexico tonight! Pretty funny. Tomorrow is the big day- I have a ticket to the England and Algeria game and I can’t wait to let you know how it was! -MEA
