Greeting from South Africa!

Day 3:

Our day started at 4 AM. We were in a rush to book a flight for Capetown, where our agenda for the trip officially begins. We were able to get a 10 o'clock flight, which means we had a lot of time to kill at the airport, which we spent hanging out in the food court and looking around at all the shops.

Once we arrived in Capetown, we were greeted by Steve, and were able to begin our adventure. It was very nice being welcomed by a warm embarace in a not so familar place. We were introduced to two Methodist pastors here in Capetown, Greg and Kyle, who helped with transportation and gave us a tour of the city.

The first thing we did was go up Table Mountain on a cable car. The height of Table Mountain at its highest point is 1,085 meters. We went up in a cable car that had a turning floor so we were able to get a 360 degree panoramic view. Once we reached the top of the mountain the view was breathtaking. We saw the whole city and the amazing beaches and mountains that surround the city.

After Tabletop mountain we went to see penguins! They were roaming freely on a beach and we were able to get real close and take a lot of good shots. The penguins were so cool and we watched them jump around in the water, cuddle with their young, and flap their wings hoping to fly.

We then went to see where we were staying for the next couple of nights and unload our carry on bags, we still didn't have our luggage :(

We went to dinner at a seafood restaurant not to far from our lodge. We ordered our food and as we were waiting, the power went off! The restaurant went quiet all of a sudder, and was soon full of laughter. After a couple of days without our luggage, and the other crazy things that caught us off guard, we got another unexpected surprise. But not to worry, the waitress knew exactly what to do and the power was back on in no time.

After dinner we headed back to our rooms and prepared ourselves for the next adventure soon to come....
