Tim and I had a very wonderful weekend full of sunshine! :) On Friday, we spent the evening with Julia and some of her friends. Julia works in Res Admin and has been our liaison since our arrival. Friday was her birthday so we had cake and good conversation. On Saturday, Tim and I went to the Waterfront again. We went to the aquarium and spent some time walking through the red barn and blue barn, which are filled with shops and stands of people selling traditional African art and crafts.
On Sunday, we went on the Cape Town Bus Tour throughout the city. It was truly incredible! My colleague, Munya, and his friend Nothi (pronounced Naughty) came with us on the tour. We had the best time! The tour bus took us all around the city and showed us all of the historical areas. The city has an absolutely amazing and beautiful history. I will go into more detail at a later time. We got to tour the Castle of Good Hope, go up to the base of Table Mountain, and cruise through Camps Bay.
Below, you will experience a virtual Cape Town bus tour through some images from our trip. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome about the City Sight-Seeing Cape Town Bus Tour! Please be sure to fasten your seatbelts and keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times. Do not feed the animals, and children, please do not talk to strangers. Enjoy the tour!
The V&A Waterfront with Table Mountain in the background. I love how still the water is and how the mountain looks painted in the background.
The Waterfront. How beautiful!

Long Street is well-known for its bars, pubs, shops, and nightlife. Can't wait to go out to Long Street one night and party it up!

The courtyard in the Castle of Good Hope. Oh, and Nothi photo-bombing my shot! :)
We decided there was a lack of torture happening in the Torture Chamber, so we thought we would spice it up...
City streets.
I love this house, especially the ivy!

Sending love to everyone,
