Yeah Bokkies!!

Hey everyone, just about to turn in for the night, thought I'd post an update. Things are really wrapping up here in Cape Town, so we're all making our final trips and adventures. Two of us are already gone (Tara left today, and Luke is leaving tomorrow in the morning), so it's finally hitting that we are in the home stretch. That said, there is still plenty of work to be done before I board my 1pm flight next Saturday.

Tomorrow, Dag, Suvrat and I will do some winery tours and make a small trip to French Hoek, a little town on the other side of one of the mountains here. I'm pretty excited for this, as French Hoek has been recommended to me on more than a few occasions by some of my coworkers. Plus, this gives me a chance to play around with a real camera one last time (Brianna, thank you again for letting me borrow yours, haha).

Anyway, today, Luke, Suvrat, Dag, and I hung out at the V&A Waterfront. They wanted to do a little shopping, and I wanted out of the room. I mostly hung out at a bookstore, reading some of "We Are All Zimbabweans Now" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". I have to re-read this again when I get home (maybe I'll just re-read the entire series and post my reviews up on NotreBooks). Anyway, it was a pretty fun, relaxing day.

We also watched one of the matches of the Tri-Nations Cup, today featuring the South Africa Springboks taking on the New Zealand All-Blacks. The Tri-Nations Cup is a rugby tournament featuring the national teams of South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. It's kind of like the Tri-Wizard Tournament from Harry Potter, only more badass because its rugby. South Africa was able to hang on for a win, their first of the tourney, and gave the All-Blacks their first loss. The All-Blacks were 4-0 thus far. From what I can gather, it's just a tournament where each team plays each other a certain number of times, and points are awarded based on if you win, tie, or if you lose you get 0. This is allo purely speculation. You can Wiki it if you want to know more.

Well, that's pretty much it. I guess I'll take this time to say good night, as we have an early day tomorrow. G'night everyone.
