Last night i ate half a zoo!

So our Cape Point peninsula tour was really good. We got driven round the coast around Cape Town, including a boat trip to see some seals at one place. We then went to see the penguin colony at Boulder's Beach! They are really funny, especially when they run.

We drove on to the Cape of Good Hope National Park, where we picnic'd then went for a cycle ride along the coast for about 7km. Then (at the most South Westerly point of Africa) we hiked up a coastal path. Saw some ostriches roaming about, and some beautiful views.

Back in town, we moved hostels. The one we've been at was really nice, but we fancied a change of scene rather than stay in the same place for 2weeks. In the evening we went out to a pub with a couple of people from the hostel, which was fun. We think a Public Safety guy was trying to sell us drugs at one point though!!
Yesterday we went to a museum about the World's first heart transplant that happened here in Cape Town in the 60's. It was quite interesting, and cool to see the actual place it happened (and the actual hearts, preserved), but it was a slightly weird museum overall!
Yesterday evening though, we had the best meal ever! We went to a place called Mama Africa, which is set out all traditionally and all the guidebooks rave about it, so we'd been looking forward to going there. We were initially a little shocked at the 195 Rand pricetag, before realising that is only about 15 pounds - we've just been used to the cheap prices here! Still, 15 pounds for a once-in-a-lifetime meal is pretty good! We both had the wild game mixed grill. This is it:

This included crocodile, springbok, kudu, ostrich and game sausage, plus bean curd stuff and pap. It was sooooo good!! My favourites were ostrich and springbok! There was a marimba band playing at the restaurant too, so it was just an amazing night!
Today we went to Robben Island on the ferry. It has a long history as a place of banishment and confinement - by the Dutch, English and South Africans. Of course it's most famous prisoner is Nelson Mandela (and we saw his confinement cell), but it has also has history as a leper colony and place for confining the mentally ill. We had a coach tour around the island, then a tour around the prison by a guy who was actually a political prisoner there for 5 years, having been arrested in the student uprisings in '76.
Love to everyone! xx
