CapeTown

SO first time in Cape Town was wicked awesome. :)

Step one: wake up super early at a time I cant remember and get onto the road, firt half of the trip was really fast felt like 3 hours, after a few stop and go's it felt like an eternity to get near Cape Town... FInally got into a place we thought was right, but the GPS had gone haywire and taken us to a place we didnt really want to be in, so we had to trek through the CBD again and finally got to where we were meant to be after about 13 hours.

said hello to every one and tried to stay away from Eli ( I dont really like babies ) and was doing well till the next thing I know he is in my arms, dont know how he got there, think he teleported or something (will ask when he is older), was not to bad except I didnt know what to do and thought I might end up breaking him or something.

Next day, we got up and headed off to the V&A Waterfront, brilliant plae to do some shopping and got to see some more of Cape Town, First stop was ToiToy and it was wicked, so many toys that I wish i could get my Paws on, in the end I got a mini-munny. The ships in the harbour looked like giants compared to the little tour boats, so not a chance I would get onto them. Then we sat down to have some hot dogs and got harrased by some seagulls apparently his name was Goerge and he was great at catching food, then came the danm cannon that gave me a heart attack.

Sunday: cant remember what we did realy... OH!!! wait we tried to get to table mountain again but it was to cloudy so we stopped at the Castle of Good Hope, wow this place is so cool! and I got to play Tour Guide for a day and i really liked it.
So much history in this place and I a sure there is some places in there that they would not let us see, the table in that place is HUGE seats 110 people (can you imagine all that food?), then we left and realized that we had not gone to the bell tower, had a walk on the beach with my big brother and then had a wickedly sinful ice-cream, and DANM this water here is so cold, thought my foot might just break off from the cold... it didnt.

Monday: Nice day, spent it with the family all day, we all pilled into the car and we hit the road, not to sure where we were going so we decided to try and go to the Mountain again, but there was Gale frce winds and it was closed, but we did manage to drive haf way up the mountain. Also went to a Cecil John Rhodes Monument, was so nice, the lion statues look like the lion from our Match Boxes, had a braai after that and realized that I kinda like this Cape Town place and would not mind staying here for a week or two and seeing if I would like to stay here or not (also want to go to the toy workshop), but unluckly for me I have to go back to Queenstown tommorow and then back to Bloem, which I was looking at trying to stay there, but I really dont see why I am staying there anymore.

Also learnt that Lamentins or somthing like that is from Australia. A direct translation from afrikaans to english for this is " Iron Pig " which I love,
I shall rule with a IRON PIG! hehe.

Anywho Prime out.
