Cape Town

Here we are hanging out in Obs with our new incredible friend Agnes! Agnes moved to Cape Town just two days after us and immediately invited us over for coffee. Within a day, we moved in with her.

We decided we ought to hike up Table Mountain. Luckily we read a couple minutes before leaving that people often die climbing . . . so we decided we ought to bring a little water.

Intimidated by hiking? Us? Never. We live for the challenge.

Two and a half hours later, we had finally dragged ourselves to the top. (The family of 6 that arrived just after us was heard shouting, "Well done, kids! We did it in one hour and fifteen minutes!" . . . they must have known a shortcut.)

The next day we were invited to hike up Lion's Head. Sore from our previous hike, we were promised that this one would be much easier. We soon discovered, however, that this hike involved hoisting ourselves up the rock face with chains.

But the views were totally worth it.

This is us on top of Lion's Head with Table Mountain in the background.

Later that night we had a dance party. This guy was a professional dancer in Germany for four years. He taught us everything he knows. We also have an awesome video of Alisa and our French friend, Thomas, doing a crazy dance called "The Tectonic" but apparently it's near impossible to upload videos in South Africa. So once we leave South Africa we'll try to remember or someone can remind us.

We rode the train along the coast to Simon's Town with Paul and April and saw loads of penguins. (You've seen these two before . . . 10 points to those who know where . . .)
