This past Saturday was supposed to be a spa day
but we literally called 30 spa places and they were all booked. Luckily
everything worked out and our spa day became an adventure around Cape Town.
Kiya, Ava and I started off at Cocoa Wahwah’s for an amazing American style
breakfast which consisted of an Ice coffee and a beacon, egg, and cheese
sandwich, it was the best breakfast I have had on the trip thus far because I
wake up just in time to serve myself some cereal. After we decided to take a
mini bus taxi to the city. Our walk around the city was short but fun and I
bought a couple of things even though I was not planning on buying anything. I have
found the mini bus taxis to be the most interesting experiences because so many
people are very willing to talk to you and they are very curious and confused
as to why we as tourist get on this kind of transportation especially since it
is advised not to. As we were waiting in line to take the mini bus taxi back
home we met two really cool people and they as well wondered why we were taking
this type of transportation instead of the train or a regular taxi because they
don't take them until it is their last resort and they were very intrigued when
we responded that we were in for the full Cape Town experience. Once our
conversation started with our two new friends it did not end until we got to
our stop; I found it so interesting how part of the conversation was us saying
to them how much we love cape town and the amount of fun we are having and they
were telling us how much they would prefer a lot of things of the U.S especially
our technology. This is just a glimpse of how easy it is to talk to people in
Cape Town because everyone is so friendly and willing to have a real
conversation with you even if it is a simple “how are you?” from the cashier
when I am buying my groceries.
