South Africa Adventure Day 2

South Africa Adventure – Day 2
After a good night’s sleep it was time for the Adventure to really begin! We started with a group breakfast where everyone introduced themselves. Then we were supposed to be heading up to the top of Table Mountain but due to fog we have to postpone that. We instead went to the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden. This fit very well with today’s word of the day, Fynbos, which means type of botanical region or floral kingdom where the vegetation is distinct to the area. We had an amazing guide, Andrew who was not only very knowledgeable but also very funny. After the garden we went to the District 6 Museum. We had 2 wonderful speakers who told us about thier personal experience with Apartheid. It was very sad to hear how the homes they had lived in all their lives we demolished and they were forced to move just because of the color of their skin. We had a group lunch followed by some shopping in Greenmarket Square. Then we had some free time before meeting up again for an entertaining dinner at the Castle of Good Hope. We are hoping to be able to squeeze in Table Mountain tomorrow if the weather cooperates.
