Cape Town, South Africa

A Big Table

After spending three days in Cape Town I think it is safe to say it is one of the most pretty cities that we have visited. The views from Table Mountain looking down on the city and out to the Atlantic Ocean and the view from the city up to Table Mountain, Lion's Head and Signal Hill and the...

Youth Day

Today it is Youth Day, so everyone gets the day off of work or school. Black South African students marched on June 16, 1976 to protest Bantu/separate and unequal education. School had been taught only in Afrikaans, and the educational standards were much lowers for black schools. Busi from...

Cape Town!

So I made it to Cape Town. Everything here is just a little bit different. People drive on the left side of the road. Stoplights are called robots, and there are no walk signs. Outlets have three holes but they're all circular. The currency is roughly the same shape as in the US, but each bill...

I'm going to Argentina... tomorrow!

I had been putting off making and decisions as to where to go next for a while. It finally came to a head on New Years Day when I was slightly hungover and decided I needed to take some positive action because everyone I knew was leaving the next day. I had been toying with the idea of going...

South-Africa / Cape Town

2 Weeks, my Oli and I spent in South Africa at the end of December. It was a family reunion with my sister and brother in law and my adorable two nieces as well as an interesting insight to Africas most popular tourist destination. Cape Town (Afrikaans: Kaapstad) is the second-most populous...

I'm a social hand grenade

The less said about NYE the better. It was all going so well at the beginning of the evening... but it turned into absolute carnage. I only have these two photos because I lost my camera just before midnight, spent an hour distraught with all the staff looking for the camera, then...

I think I’m becoming an old man

Ouch. Literally my entire body is completely sore. My shin, knees, and thigh are all bruised, my knees, hands and face are cut, and my ribs hurt. I’m only 26 – I’m fairly certain I’m still supposed to recover quickly from injuries, right? Ugh. Today was history day for us. We began with...

Jews are not meant to do extreme sports - Discuss.

Today was to be our day of adventure - mountain biking in the morning, abseiling (what the rest of the world calls rappelling) in the afternoon, US-Algeria match to follow. Little did we know just how much adventure we were to be in for today. After breakfast, we made our way down to the...

Penguins and Ostriches and Baboons, Oh My!

We're finally staying at a true Bed and Breakfast here in Cape Town. It is called Tintagel and is terrific. A full English breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms and tomatoes, not to mention a bowl of fresh local fruit and some yogurt was a great way to start off a day of...
