Last Day

So today is our last day in Cape Town. We are flying out at 11:35pm Cape Town time, but we are leaving for the airport at 8pm. This means we needed to fill the day with events to keep us busy so we didn't have to sit around and wait. We also had to check out of our rooms at 10am so we have been homeless all day. Our bags are chillin in an extra room right now. We began our day at a normal hour, mostly because we wanted to be tired on the plane. We went to a lovely little cafe for breakfast- le petit tarte. we haven't been there before, but its right up the street. Following this we walked around the city a little, stopped in some last minute shops and then ventured over to a part of downtown we hadn't been to before. Its a walking garden surrounded by some parliament buildings, a library and a couple museums. Quite nice, and when it wasn't drizzling, it was even nicer :-)
We walked around for a while and then went into the South Africa Museum and Planetarium. This museum started off really interesting; south african history and the people throughout time etc. Then they broke out some random current information and then there is a huge 'stuffed' animal part with sea animals, mammals, reptiles, dinosaurs, followed by the largest whale skeleton and a section about Darwin. WHAT?  Sort of a weird museum, but we needed to kill time and it was only R25 to get in. Basically free. That price also included an experience in the planetarium. Now, planetariums are pretty cool, and ours started out quite nice, but then they just started projecting picture of random nebula and celestial clouds and it got real weird real fast. The man who was talking was also not interesting, as we heard him "sigh" multiple times. So after that ended, we walked back, had some food and we are now sitting in the hotel restaurant waiting to go to the airport.

I have pictures of today, but I am on Kelsey's computer because mine will not connect to the internet. Also because the internet in here is sketchy in general. whooo

I will miss Cape Town, but after today and yesterday, I am ready to return home. It's been real fun and I am extremely grateful to have had this experience!!


Cheers!
