August 20

We woke up to a rare Cape Town winter day- beautiful blue skies, few clouds, and temperatures in the lower 70’s- perfect! We walked from our hostel on Long Street all the way up to the bottom of Table Mountain (about 3 miles up hill). We chose to take the cable car up to the top (rather than hike up a steep incline for about 3 hours). We were pleased with our decision and walked around the top for a while, taking in all the spectacular views. We started to climb down for our decent on food, but after seeing how steep the going would be and seeing a “danger- difficult trail” sign, we decided again to take the cable car down, but we still walked from the cable car to our hostel (stopping to have a fabulous lunch/dinner of chicken curry). I showered and then we got a cab to take us to the University of Cape Town where we met up with Tim and Jade. They showed us around the beautiful, huge campus and then we went to a very contemporary church service. When you walk in the room they give you a drink voucher to be used after church in a bar downstairs (the church meets at a country club/sports complex). After redeeming our vouchers (on hot chocolate) after church, Tim and Jade dropped us off back at our hostel.
