Days 78-80 -- Cape Town

Back in Cape Town for a few days...spent most of this time out on Long St. with a few people that were still lingering around from New Years, doing some shopping for the family in Hong Kong, and a day tour of the Cape Peninsula. Good tour since we stopped at Boulder's beach for the seals, Simons' Town for the penguins, the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point, the most southwestern point in Africa. Even got a chance to do some cycling which was probably the biggest workout of the entire trip...Cape Town is officially ranked as one of my favorite cities in the world along with Prague and Hong Kong. The people, the sights, weather, nightlife, everything is just amazing...doesn't hurt thats its cheap since the dollar has gotten so strong against the rand lately. Next stop Hong Kong!

Africa really has been an enjoyable destination. Looking back it may have been nice to do a longer safari that took me through Uganda and Namibia (both said to be incredible), but you have to leave things for next time I guess...
