Maybe a week is not enough.

Penguins! Mountains! History! After a quickly passing week in Cape Town, we realized maybe we did it wrong. Starting our international leg in a place with great food, good public transit, beautiful scenery, and English speakers, we managed to ease into our trip without much discomfort. Maybe it would have been better to save Cape Town for later as it would have been quite revitalizing to visit here after what we anticipate will be some rough roads over the next year.

Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, set against the epic backdrop of Table Mountain. Winter weather often obscured our view, but the main city, as well as the quaint towns on Camps Bay and Hout Bay, were still beautiful. The people of Cape Town were especially endearing, going out of their way to help us find our way. I particularly love the cultural blend of African and European in one city.  Despite a violent, sad past, and lingering social problems, there is a forward looking air about the place...although that may have just been the constant wind.
