I should have come to this city sooner!!! I am LOVING Cape Town! Yesterday was an absolutely, unbelievably fun day. Jen and I started out the day by going on a wine tour. When we were picked up and we got in the van, there were 4 other people on the tour... Caroline from Australia and Denise from the UK (both in there 40s), Jessica from Brazil (20s), and Scott from Canada (30ish). The 6 of us hit it off so well! We were all laughing and having a great time even BEFORE the wine tasting started. Our tour guide was awesome as well. She was so knowledgable about the area and fun! We went to 4 different vineyards and got to try as many different kinds of wine as we wanted. The weather was perfect, the company was perfect, the lunch was perfect... such an awesome day. We had so much fun exchanging travel and life stories.
We had so much fun together that we all decided to hang out for the rest of the evening. After the tour we took the cable car up to Table Mountain for the sunset. The views were AMAZING. After the sunset and we were back in town, we headed to Mama Africa, which was an INCREDIBLE restaurant! Jen and I ordered Robben Island iced teas... SO good! We had to wait for a table, but we were entertained by an awesome band... African originals and covers on just drums and mirambas. The band had maybe 7 people in it and I have NEVER heard people sing like this! Their voices carried with no microphones. I can't even begin to describe what an awesome experience it was... and it just got better from there. We were seated for dinner right next to the stage. I wanted to get a true, authentic African meal so I ordered a PLATTER of meat which consisted of crocodile, ostrich, kudu (sort of like antelope), sausage, and springbok (sort of like deer meat). The ostrich was by far my favorite! The crocodile was extremely tough. We spent several hours at this restaurant, eating, drinking, dancing... it was so amazing. I haven't had that much fun in such a long time. I wish I was staying in this city for longer!
Today Jen and I are meeting up with Caroline and Denise for lunch and then we are headed to a market to buy jewelry, etc. I'm so sad to be leaving this city tomorrow! I love Cape Town!!!
