You did what???? (is what you will be saying when you read this)

Today is day 2 in cape town and we headed back to the waterfront where we got the ferry over to Robben island which is where Nelson Mandela spent 18 of his 27 years in prison its a really moving place and the guide is a former political prisoner...

Yesterday was day 2 in Cape town and we decided to head up table mountain in the cable car for those of you who don't know what table mountain looks like google it and then imagine it in real life its friggin huge so much bigger than i was expecting! so up we went its nothing like Christchurch's little gondola in fact it makes that look like the kiddies ride at a fair! so up we went with the idea of looking what the trail down was like and if it wasn't to rough we would walk it and if it was we would stop being tight and cough up another R90 when we got to McClears beacon we decided to wing it and head down we spent some of the time walking and the other time climbing or sliding down on our bums it was probably the hardest thing iv ever done...oh and did i mention we did it in jandals...
