Christmas and New Years in Cape Town

Hi to all,  Been out of touch with 3G since T day.  Have had an eventful month and now am here with 7 friends all PCVs in this beautiful city.  We have walked the central city so much we think we are natives and have covered all the highlights in the guidebook   Today Amy helped me get the sim card in right and complete cell phone banking to buy a bundle of airtime.  Our plan was to go to the bank to get my credit card activated since put in the wrong pin # 3 times.  Only Lynda put her card in the ATM where the guard was not present and was  scammed. Took and hour to get all the details completed and I did not get my temporary card.  We are planning for lunch and then to another museum this afternoon.  Vietaminese food tonight then to the parade (like New Orleans at Madi Gra).  Happy New Year !!!  Leave on Monday for the good old KZN.   We are all in love with Cape Town!!!!  Have a wonderful apartment looking out at Table Mt.  It is lighted at night.  We had a trip to the island prison of Nelson Mandela on C day and had C dinner on the wharf   with a gift exchange & snacks by the pool at the backpack ers in the evening.  Beautiful weather. Been a great week.
