Cape Town

Some random thoughts and feelings about Cape Town...
We are staying in an area called Observatory or Obz for short. Our house has an electric fence...great neighborhood...a few nights ago, a girl got mugged around the corner while she was walking back from dinner. But I do feel quite safe.
Some parts of cape town, are veryyy touristy like the waterfront. The only part about the waterfront that i liked was going to Robben Island from there. That tour was great, we got to see where the political prisoners were kept, such as Nelson Mandela. We were able to learn more about the South African History and especially about the Apartheid. Often referred to as the Apartheid years. The after-effects are still evident since the wound is still fresh.
