cape town

We have been in Cape Town now for about 3 days and it is a very cool place. The best way I can describe it is a mix between Madrid and Bourbon street in New Orleans. It has a very European and cosmopolitan feel to it. Our first night here we went to a flaminco show which was quite good. We drove along the coast which looks very tropical and hung out at the beach for a while. Yesterday we went to a day spa which was amazing. I got an hour swedish massage and then we hung out and used all of their facilities. There was a salt pool that was fashioned after the black sea. You lie on your back and you float without any trouble. The whole spa was on a bluff overlooking the ocean.

Cape Town is definetly a city that I could live in however, I am ready to get out of here. I did not come to Africa to see the cities but rather to see the wilds. I am ready to get back out in nature and listen to the birds instead of the cars. We are taking off in a few minutes for Namibia which everyone we talk to says is amazing. In Namibia they have the highest sand dunes in the world and I can't wait to get there and sand surf down them. THey also say you have to wear your sunglasses at night because the stars are so bright!!!
