Cape town

It has been a while since I was in cape town so it is already getting hard to remember everything. We stayed at a hotel this time instead of hostels like we normally do. We were right in the center of town and the first night we thought we would go out and explore long street. The biggest and best street for nightlife and tourists. At one of the pubs, while enjoying live music, a guy came up to me, pointed at my heineken and asker if I was dutch. He was dutch and he was visiting his friend who lived in cape town for a year. They told us their plans for the next day and they turned out to be exactly like ours, so we decided to go all together. They had a car which made it all much easier and the next day we went to cape point and simonstown( to see penguins) and had dinner at mama africa. I had crocodile, ostrich, springbok, kudu and something else I do not remember. It all tasted very nice.

The day after we got together again and climbed the lionshead. A mointain 600 metres above sealevel and took the shorter and harder route up.  That included climbing up the mountainhills with chains and ladders (extremely steep) but we made it in time for a beautiful sunset over the city. The next day Rick and Stefan were travelling to kruger park so we said goodbye and the next four days we spent going up table mountain, going to the aquarium, visiting v&a waterfront and other tourist-stuff. We also did some shopping and the most expensive laundry ever. (About 1000 kr or 130 euros) the days in cape town went by extremely fast and we loved the city, even though Birgitte got her phone stolen there. Next up was Sydney!
