Capetown

So I arrived in Capetown on Tuesday evening and got to my apt with no hassles. Capetown is really nice - it's a relaxing city - no real hustle and bustle. The weather is a lot like SF - foggy and cool, but when the sun comes out it is quite warm.

Our apartment is really nice - it's on Kloof St - which is in an artsy and funky neighborhood. Its not very touristy, but still a popular hangout place. There are a lot of restaurants in our neighborhood. Lang St is the main drag in capetown - the main hostel is there and a lot of bars, etc.

So far, we've taken a city tour on one of those double decker buses. And we took a cable car to the top of Table Mt and walked around the top. I'm kind of scared of heights - we plan on actually doing a full day hike in a few days up the mountain - we'll see if I'm up to it. We also plan on going to Robben Island - where Mandela was held prisoner, and hopefully the Cape of Good Hope.

I took some pics today but forgot to bring my cable with me to upload them - I will try tomorrow so I can add some more flair to this text heavy blog.
