This morning I woke up took a shower and met the girls for breakfast on the ship we were trying to save a little bit of money. Our original plan for Erica, Dylan and I was to hike Table Mountain. Although we realized that after days of not sleeping we were not in the right shape to hike, because everyone who did it on the first night with plenty of rest said it was really intense and some people they know had to turn around. So we all decided to take the cable car up and then go to Green Market Square for some shopping.
We got ready and got in a cab to Table Mountain. When we got there we realized the line was super long and we may not get to do other things today if we waited because there was only one cable car going up and down at a time. So we took pictures of Cape Town from the base of Table Mountain which was still gorgeous!!!!! At the base we also bought a few souvenirs like hats, post cards, and WORLD CUP shirts. (P.S. another goal of mine is to make it to the world cup sometime in my life). After buying things and taking pictures we took a taxi down to Green Market Square. It reminds me of the swapmeet and is just a place where vendors set up booths in the street and sell their goods. I bought a few things and felt like I was pretty good bargainer. I also bought probably my favorite painting form this trip so far at the square. I was pleased with my shopping but needed to stop spending money and wanted to get one last good meal before getting back on the ship. So we all headed back to the ship put our things down and grabbed our computers because rumor had it there was free wifi in the port. So Dylan, Courtney, Anna, and I went and got lunch and did a little internet searching. After that we did a little more shopping for practical things we needed before heading on the ship. We were getting on a little earlier than normal because it seemed like this would be an easy port to get caught in line and get dock time which I am determined to not get at all.
Dylan and I had one last task though before getting on the ship. And what was the task??? Getting Dylan a hotdog!! She is a vegetarian but keeps having this recurring dream about hotdogs and decided she would eat one. So we went on a mission and found her hotdog before getting back on the ship.
Once on the ship I think I fell right asleep then uploaded my pictures ate some dinner and was back in bed by 8:30.
