I'm officially on "holiday"! April, Leah, and I traveled to Cape Town with Maryke, a girl from South Africa, and we stopped along the Garden Route on the way. Besides bungy jumping, we stopped at Tsitsikamma National Park, a few pretty beaches, Outshoorn, Paarl (Maryke's home town), and Stellenbosch to stop at some wineries.

| Our first stop. Breakfast at Tiffany's in Port Elizabeth |

Our trusty means of transportation. We had a trailor because Maryke
was moving home from school, not because we had so much stuff! |

| Waterford Winery, where we had wine and chocolate |
We stayed at two hostels along the way and then Maryke's house on the third night. We were so fortunate to find someone that was driving because it was so nice being able to stop where ever we wanted to.
So now I'm all settled in at the hostel in Cape Town. The hostel that I'm staying at is called Atlantic Point, which opened in June in perfect time for the World Cup. The location is very nice. When I walk to the main street I can see Green Point Stadium (for the World Cup) and it's a pretty short walk to the V & Waterfront.

On Wednesday, Leah, Lauren (a girl I met from England) and I
went to Robben Island. This is a picture of Nelson Mandela's prison cell. |

Clifton Beach, where we will be spending several days:)
The Atlantic Ocean is absolutely freezing though!
