Like I said, up early. 530. I worked on that, and then handed it off to Evan when I had a spare second. At 7, when we were supposed to have all of our bags outside and ready, the loud room was still asleep. Whhaaa. Got them up, and we only left a little later than planned. The drive was nice and leisurely, stopping to look at birds, get coffee, and take pictures. We finally got to Cape Town around 12, and settled back into the backpackers (ha). Once that was all done, we went to a chinese restaurant on Kloof Street for lunch. SO GOOD. I didn’t think that South African Chinese would be anything to remember, but BOY was I wrong. After that, we went to Ska, a hippy shop on Long Street, to spend tons and tons of money. And spend we did. After that, we went to a jewelry shop to pick up some earrings. Turns out that underneath the store, there is a whole market. I ended getting two pairs of earrings under there for the same price that I would have paid for one up top. We then went to a bookstore, and found little copies of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Amazing. Then we headed back to the backpackers to use internet and chill for a bit, and then went to dinner at the burger place we went to the first time we were here. Again, delicious. We even all got dessert! Hannah then took us to see her friend who is on a different program and living in cape town, and then we all settled in for the night in front of our computers. Well, some of us went out. I did not. I just stayed up stupidly late, as we are getting up at 3:30 tomorrow. Woo.
