We visited Cape Town’s city center and markets, walking down Government Avenue, a pedestrian street, and through the company gardens, originally used to grow crops for the sailors on their way to and from the East Indies. There’s a lovely combination of South African Dutch, Victorian, and modern architecture. We ate our breakfast on a balcony overlooking Greenmarket Square where below wares from all over Africa are sold. A man dressed as a sangoma (witch doctor) entertained us with his repetitive chant. Our last night was spent at Paul’s aunt’s house for an extended family braii (BBQ). I got to hear all kinds of stories from grandmother to Paul’s younger cousin.
