Colin & I have been off the overland truck for a week now and we've continued having a blast.
After spending 5 days in Cape Town, we are freshly re-energized. Cape Town is an amazing place. The downtown is trendy and fun with all the usually big city stuff and the waterfront is picturesque and perfect. When walking around the city, you would never know there are crime problems. However, upon closer inspection, you notice the private security firms on every block, the security in every store, the gates which must be opened just to go into a clothing shop and the police on every other corner. To have this much security, they must have some problems. Rumour has it that they are trying to clean up their act before the world cup next year. The new stadium looks fantastic.
Colin and I made it out to a rugby game on Saturday also. We saw Western Province kick the Quingras butts. It was pouring rain and a lot of fun. I still don't understand all the rules but I was cheering loudly in the crowd.
Next we were off to wine country. In 1.5 days, Colin and I acquired 25 bottles of wine and we sampled 4x that many. It was soooo beautiful. We loved it and recommend Stellenbosch and the surrounding towns to everyone.

Now we are spending a night in Wilderness in the Wilderness. We've rented a 4x4 truck with a rooftop tent. Photos to come!
