Yesterday was my last official day in Plettenberg Bay. It was a great last day and it was Jen's birthday! We started out by going fishing with Tracy out on the bay. We didn't catch many fish, but caught one huge one! I believe it was called a Leerie fish? After fishing Jen and I treated Tracy to lunch. And then after lunch, we decided to get pedicures... just a simple pedicure, maybe a half hour out of our day... wow, were we wrong! We got a crazy spa treatment pedicure... soft music playing, candles burning, relaxing on a bed while women scrubbed and massaged our feet. I took over an hour! I even fell asleep! And only $25 for an amazing spa treatment.
We then met up with Chrissie, Daniel, Tracy, and a new volunteer for drinks at a sushi restaurant. After dinner at the house, we concluded the birthday evening with cake and drinks out on the town.
Today Jen and I made the long jouney to Cape Town. Not only was it a 9 hour ride, but the freaking bus had to break down and we were stranded on the highway for an extra two hours! SOOO frustrating! We are now in Cape Town and it is definitely a vibrant cite, as all the tour guide book say. We just had an amazing (and cheap) dinner and we are about to explore Long Street. There are tons of people around and the hostel host assured us that this part of town is completely safe. It has sort of a southern feel to it... the architecture and atmosphere reminds both of us of either Charleston, SC or New Orleans. I'm excited to be spending my last weekend here... it seems like a fun city!
