Visit from Mom!: 1

My mom got here safely around midnight last Tuesday, and-after an awkward fib-based fight with the security guard involving mild paperwork-we settled in Liesbeeck! Weds we did a campus tour (see lovely photographic evidence) and a trip down to Long Street for lunch. Thursday, since I had LEAP, we just managed down to Obz for some pizzas at Obz cafe. Then the true sightseeing began!

Friday we went to V&A for some falafel, touring Robben Island, sushi, and District 9 (which scarred me for a week). It was neat seeing Robben Island again with a different guide- a totally different experience. Here we are on the scenic end:


Saturday we went up to Table Mountain-ooooh, ahhhh.

And then out to dinner with Becca and Charles- my mom and I had ostrich and Sean had warthog ribs. Both of them: AWESOME. Then Becca and Charles drove us up to look over Sea Point. The night view was completely beautiful.

  1. So nice that your mom was there! I'm excited for mine to come here :-)
    Tonight I went to a quiz night at the student pub, and there was a question about Robben Island and which city's bay it was in... we didn't know! Argh!
