This Is Africa
Well I survived the total 25 hours of flight time alone and have landed on the stunning continent of Africa. Molly and I met up in Amsterdam Schipol Airport at our gate. It was so nice to see a familiar face! Our looooong flight consisted of watching 4 complete movies, indulging in some delicious plane meals believe it our not, and arriving at 11 pm in Cape Town. We both got our baggage (yay!) and found an airport authorized shuttle service to get to The Ritz Hotel at Seapoint. Our hotel room is modest but has all the necessary amenities and extremely comfortable beds.
Today we slept in until 9:30 and Marion our program coordinator called to check on us and make sure we arrived safely. Molly and I decided to walk along the beach boardwalk to the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront which is about a 20 minute walk. They have a shopping mall that is reminiscent of Bellevue Square. We looked in many of the shops. Then we found an Indian Restaurant on the waterfront that had a view of Table Mountain and had a yummy lunch. After that we explored all the shopping, watched street performers, and went to look at arts and crafts places. Then we walked back to the hotel and decided to come check out a cafe with free internet across the street. So far so good! Cape Town is wonderful and I am looking forward to the days to come.
