day 2

Today I hiked Table Mountain with the group (Sol and Meghan joined us at the Hostel today). It was rough. It was really hot and sunny for half of the trek up (mom, I promise I wore sunscreen and reapplied during the trek up. no burns today!). we took approximately 10 or 15 breaks in 2hours of hiking! such a steep incline. But when we made it to the top it was pretty gorgeous. Took lots of photos, but I'm too lazy to post them right now. I'll describe what I saw: some sky, some sea, some mountains, so city, some animals and some people. I know, that's pretty amazing. I think the photos will do it more justice though.

The view from the top is amazing. I saw Robben Island ( I don't know if you can tell yet but I'm totally infatuated with that place) and cape point and a bunch of mountains with names like "devil's peak" and "Lion's rump" (lol). We also got an amazing view of cape town and some other cities in the distance. It's breath taking up there.

Tomorrow I'll probably be taking a wine tour! I'm pretty excited and I feel pretty adult and mature just thinking about it.

So far Cape Town has been amazing, but there's so much left to see. And, since I'm leaving on friday, I think I'll try and spend a few days here before I come home in August. I absolutely love it here!!

So I guess that's all. I'm too pooped to write more. (need to rest up before dinner and a night out with the group!)

LOVE hannah
