I had a free day today and so I tagged along on a trip with a few friends. We got a driver to take us to Cape of Good Hope, which was a really pretty drive. Parts of South Africa remind me so much of Napa or Monterey Bay. We stopped at some lookouts and got amazing pictures of beaches. On our way to the Cape, my friend Jen (who is a world class horse back rider in the masters at home) looked out at the view and saw a house with horses and so we had our driver drive us to this house and she went and introduced herself and they ended up taking us on a 2 hour horse back riding trip down long beach and back. White beaches and the sunset and we were the only ones on the beach!!! I am not a horse rider and to be honest, not a big fan of horses, but this trip was SO much fun and it was so cool that we got to ride on the beach! The Cape was clear and the weather lucked out and so it was really fun to be at the southern most point of Africa!!! We had a low-key night of Calamari and Cider (I missed you Shep! They have amazing cider here!).
Semester at Sea ROUND 2 took me all AROUND THE WORLD starting from Halifax and sailing to Spain, Morocco, Ghana, South Africa, Mauritius, India, China, Vietnam, Japan, and Hawaii.
