It was an amazing time in Cape Town and I'm pretty sure I'll be finding myself here again, sometime during my lifetime. We thought our time might be extended here for a few more hours since we lost a day but no such luck.
We pulled out of port and watched as it faded into the night. It was neat to see Cape Town and Table Mountain lit up at night from a distance.
The highlight of the night was tacos for dinner!!! They were delicious but I wish they had done it when we were at sea because we had it right after a delicious midday snack before we boarded the ship! Oh well...still a great surprise!
On to Mauritius!
Things I noticed about Cape Town....
- Coke didnt come in glass bottles :(
- Many stores are really similar to American stores like Simply Asia=Noodles & Co
- The mall was HUGE and had the widest range of stores from your average grocery store to Gucci and Burberry
- The bathrooms in the mall are ridiculously clean and fancy. The sinks looked like a flat countertop but they were slanted just a tiny bit so that the water ran ito a skinny basin that ran along the mirror edge....basically I was impressed!!!
- Chocolate Frio's are delicious
- They're really into ice cream/gelato
- Everyone is so nice and wants to know who we are, about SAS, where we're going and how long we're staying
- Everything is clean!!!
- Their accents are amazing
- It's a very active city
- Advertising is awesome and according to one lady, the industry is doing extremely well
- World Cup soccer jerseys are very hard to find : (
- Vuvuzelas are everywhere
- They seem to be more into rugby than soccer (The 2011 Rugby World Cup is being played here as well as the Cricket World Cup)
Well babe, glass Coke Bottles aren't sold ANYWHERE anymore : ) Just thought I would chime in about that! Anyways, I'm glad you had taco Tuesday, because you were looking forward to that so much! Float safe,

ReplyDeletechris,
you can find coca-cola in bottles all over the world in glass bottles just less in America. At Costco you can buy a 20 pack of mexican coke in glass bottles. mexican coke is only different because its made frome cane sugar. you can find coke in glass bottles at walmart and other places in a 6 pack
Peter, It's an inside joke between Kait and I...I tried to put a smiley next to it, but it kinda got split by the lines!!! Thanks for the correction nonetheless.
