Saturday:
Explored the Stellenbosch Botanical Garden and met up with Marlize, a local student here at Stellenbosch who I happened to meet in the Johannesburg airport on my way to Cape Town! She was such a sweetheart and took my roommate, Kirsten and I of a short tour of the surrounding Stellenbosch neighborhood, including a quick stop for a wine tasting J She is a third-year student as well and has promised to keep us posted on her weekend plans and has invited us to tag along whenever she goes exploring the Stellenbosch mountains and on Cape Town excursions.
Sunday:
Last field trip before classes start!! We visited Boulders Colony to see the penguins –yes, in Africa! –and then traveled on to Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope. The view from the hiking trail was incredible and none of us missed the chance to yell “I’m king of the world” from the cliff’s edge. Looking out into the vast expanse of ocean, it was kinda eerie to think that the closest land mass was Antarctica…
