Two Oceans Aquarium





Molly and I sat in a small cafe drinking coffees, writing postcards, and reading. We then basked in the sun for a while before getting ready to walk down to the waterfront. We met up with Bridget today at the Two Oceans Aquarium. Bridget went to Pacific Lutheran University and came to South Africa for an internship in environmental conservation. She has been here for two years and was a wealth of information. We enjoyed the aquarium. They had tropical fish, jellyfish, sharks, penguins, frogs, and many other animals from this region. We headed to Mama Africa for dinner. This eclectic restaurant was decorated in an array of African art and flare. The restaurant had a live band playing African vibe music with xlyophones, drums, and a powerful lead singer. We had crocodile kebabs with peanut satay. It tasted like chicken! I ordered Mama Africa Chicken Curry and Mavla Pudding for dessert. The dessert was amazing! It was a caramelly buttery pound cake like treat with ice cream. Bridget took us back to our hotel and Molly and I packed up all our stuff. The program starts tomorrow. Our program coordinator Avril is picking us up at 11 to take us to our host family in Athlone. I am so excited for the program to start and to meet my host family. Plenty to share next time!
