Easter Break!

This week I am on Easter Break (yes another week off) and I have had a few more adventures to share. On Friday my friends and I decided to take the train and go to Cape Town. We booked a hostel for the night (which is a cheap hotel for students or travelers where you sleep in bunk beds and share a bathroom with your friends. Some of them are really nice thought and you can get a private room and bathroom but we all shared). We stayed right on Long Street which is where all the clubs and restaurants are so it was really fun. For dinner we went to this famous restaurant called Mama Africa and it was real traditional African food. For dinner I had crocodile, which was REALLY good, and I tried a bite of warthog which is what my friends ordered for dinner. The Warthog was Ok but it was just like chewy steak. I preferred the crocodile After dinner we all went out and danced the night away. It was a really fun night because we didn't have to worry about spending money on a taxi or worrying about getting back to campus since we were staying in Cape Town for the night. The next morning we woke up early and went shopping. We went to all these really cool markets and I bought a lot of cool African things! Eventually we took the train back and all went to bed early because we were exhausted. The next morning was Easter Sunday so my two friends and I decided to wake up early and walk around town in search for a church. We eventually found on that was about to start so we walked in and sat down. After a few minutes of sitting there my friends and I all looked at each other because we realized that the service was going be all spoken in Afrikaans and it was too late to get up and leave. So... after a hour of sitting there listening to a service in an entirely different language and not knowing a single word, it ended and we went out to breakfast. I will never forget this Easter! The next day (Monday) we decided to rent a car and drive to all these different towns that we usually can't get to on the train. This was quite an experience since the steering wheel was on the other side and we had to drive on the left side of the rode. My two friends drove around most of the time and they did a really good job. First we drove to the town where Cape Town University is and saw the campus and their college town. The campus was just gorgeous! But since it is in the city their college town was kind of a long walk away and not as safe at night. In the end I'm really glad I came to Stellenbosch! Then we drove to another town called Simons Town and Kulk Bay where we went into all these cute shops and ate lunch at this cute cafe. It was right along the beach and we had so much fun. Once we got back to Stellenbosch, I decided that I wanted to drive. I drove my to the grocery store and all around town! It was really scary at first because everything is opposite but for some reason I just knew how to do it. The next morning we still had to car so we drove to get a breakfast buffet outside of town. I drove again and I did fine except when I was turning I accidentally went to close to the curb and we kind of fell into a canal (they have canals everywhere on the sides of the rode like in Europe) but I just kept driving and played it off like nothing happen haha It was so nice to have a car and to just drive around where every wanted. It was so convenient and gave us much more freedom. Thats one thing that I miss about America is its convenience. The next day we were supposed to go deep sea kayaking with whales but it got canceled because the waves were too high But don't worry I will be going that in a few weeks!! The weather the last week has been so cold and rainy but hopefully we will get one last good weekend to go kayaking. But one thing that is for sure is that I am NOT liking this new weather! I liked it when it was hot, hot and even hotter. The next two weeks will be nothing but school work.. yes I am actually in school.. because its the last two weeks of classes. I can't believe I only have a month and one week left in South Africa!! These last few months have flown by!! Before you know it I will be back in America seeing everyone...Well that is after I get done with my last month of new adventures
