Sunday Recap...

Today was a pretty low-key day. I finally got to sleep in past 9:30 (until 11am today, woohoo!!!). We were originally going to go to the Cape of Good Hope, but we were all still feeling a little tired from the past few weeks and decided to try for Cape of Good Hope next weekend.

To make up for a missed day, Michael and I met Dag, Suvrat and Luke at the V&A Waterfront. After some coffee, Dag, Michael, and I went to the Two Oceans Aquarium, which is conveniently located at at the Waterfront.

The Aquarium was really nice. It wasn’t as large as other aquariums I’ve been to, but it was still a good time. I love aquariums, so pretty much any aquarium is going to get good marks in my book. We got to see the sharks (ragged-tooth sharks) get fed, as well as the sea turtles and rays. Seeing this was pretty exciting and worth the price of admission.

Afterwards, we just walked around the aquarium and saw all of the other exhibits. We saw a bunch of different types of penguins, jellyfish, and a variety of other fish. I think my favorite exhibit was the moray eel exhibit. There tank was this cylinder shaped tank with two moray eels inside it. They were massive.

The other fun part of the aquarium was their clownfish tank. Inside the cylinder tank there was a small alcove that you could climb in and be surrounded by the clownfish. Dag, Michael, and I had a mini-photoshoot at this point (check out the album for examples).

After we left the aquarium, we walked through a craft warehouse located at the Waterfront. In this warehouse, people are able to set up booths and showcase their wares. I plan on spending some time there in the coming weeks as I start doing my souvenir shopping. We’ve all decided that this is the best place to shop because we are actually buying the goods from the people who made them; this makes the goods not only cheaper, but also means that we know the money we pay is going to them.

Well, that pretty much wraps up today. I’m officially here for only four more weeks. We’re all going to watch The Constant Gardener now, which I have never seen. Totsien, my friends!!!
