Cape Town is called the most beautiful city in the world, and from the little that I have already seen, I agree. Here are just some of the pictures I took on my brief tour of the city:
These pictures were taken from various points in the city. I have been lucky to have a wonderful Rotary host showing me around, Elizabeth Danckwerts. I will be staying with her until I find a suitable place to live. For those of you who are wondering what she looks like, I've included a picture:
She has been kind enough to help me set up things like my phone, my bank account, basically my life here in South Africa. I can't thank her enough!
One other thing I thought you all would enjoy - there is a lot of wild life here, as you would expect in Africa. In fact, the government has posted up signs warning people to watch out for the baboons and to avoid feeding them. In fact, on my first day here, I ran into a family of them crossing the street (in a forested area). One managed to steal a butternut squash from a car and ran away with it. Ever heard of Yogi the Baboon?
So thiis is just a taste of what I have been up to these past few days, I will keep you posted regularly. Feel free to leave me any comments or questions - I want to stay in touch!
