Cape Town

We arrived to Cape Town safe and sound Thursday around 4pm. There was a little mix up with our car rental so we had to switch places and ended up getting a mini VW van from Avis car rental. This was the best purchase of the trip because we have been able to drive up and down the coast. Friday morning we went Great White Shark Diving which was very thrilling. The sharks came literally inches from my head in a cage which they could prolly fit their head through. The biggest shark we saw was probably twenty feet long. They swam through the water so gracefully and it almost felt unreal. We also drove by Dyer and Geyser Island where over 50,000 Seals can be found. Friday night we stayed in a cool remote hostel in Simons Town and then went to a nice dinner at "Meeting Place" restaurant. Saturday morning we visited Boulder Beach where we found thousands of Penguins. We also decided to visit Cape Point which was Beautiful. I have some amazing pictures of the light house and all the different views. I also have a video of Meg jumping of a ledge unto a lower level and bruising her heal. She immediately regretted the decision.
Sunday we visited Stellenbousch which is the main areas for wine vineyards. It was about an hour outside of Cape Town. We got there just in time to book our stay for the night and join a wine tour. The tour was only $42 American and included four wine tastings, transportation and lunch. It was well worth the money. I ended up buying a few bottles of wine to take home and a few glasses as well. Afterward we went to dinner and a young Frenchman named Chris who we met on the tour tried the 1K steak challenged. The steak was probably a little over a foot wide but he was able to finish it as well as finish a side dish.
Today we plan on visiting Table Mountain and Robbins island because it is Clare and Kates last day before they fly home tomorrow. It looks like I might not be able to sky dive here because my money is going faster than I planned and Mandy's bank account is currently frozen so I plan on helping her until she gets that settled.
I look forward to coming home in four days and I am glad with all the positive feedback I have gotten from my blog and on facebook. I cannot wait to return and tell everyone about my experience. Take care everyone.
