So it seems as though Jason and I have been switching off and on with the blogging. Today is my day, happily enough because I am pretty sure that Sunday is my favorite day of the week. This morning we slept in, which was absolutely necessary after the beautiful torture of Table Mountain. Jason brought me coffee and a croissant in bed :) We walked down to the water front, a beautiful pier that reminds me of Pier 39, with an African twist. Travelers from all over the world were swarming around the shops, the food court and the grocery store where I bought lunch. My mini trauma came right after I began eating, when all of a sudden the sides of my face began to tingle, and as I touched my cheeks right below my temple, realized that I was beginning to grow lumps the size of small golf balls... My first real allergic reaction, and of course it happens in Africa! Luckily there was a pharmacy just a minutes walk from where I was, so I bolted down there and took some antihistamine before anything serious happened. The strangest thing was that I was eating things that I have always eaten, or at least I thought I was...
After lunch we went to the aquarium which was great. The crew that we have assembled has been great, mainly a bunch of Aussies and a Canadian, all good people. Tomorrow we will be renting a van and driving along the coast the the Cape of Good Hope, a small penguin colony and a baboon preserve. I think it will be good fun :)
For tonight, it is rest and relaxation. Sending love from Africa.
