August 21

Syd and I actually woke up around the same time this morning and packed up our stuff and checked out of our hostel. Then we wondered around the many African market stalls. I actually got a scarf to wrap around my head (1. what is getting into me, why am I buying souvenirs I don’t really need, 2. mom should be glad I will cover my blonde hair up in Egypt).
We window shopped to pass the time to what we were really looking forward to- the best tea in the world! We had high tea at the Mount Nelson Hotel. The hotel is huge, beautiful, and best of all- pink. The tea was buffet style and very delicious. We enjoyed the food as well as the live piano music and tastefully decorated room. After tea we went back to our hostel to make arrangements for getting to the airport- we fly to Amsterdam tonight!
