Today we made a journey around the peninsula of South Africa. Our first stop was at Fourth Beach. When we got out of the bus we all went and climbed up rocks to get a better view! It was beautiful on top of the rocks with the ocean in front of us and the mountains behind us. After Fourth Beach we departed to Hout Bay. At Hout Bay we walked around for about an hour. Nisha, Sarah and I shared an order of REALLY fresh fish and chips. It was amazing. After we scarfed down the fish and chips we walked around the craft market for a little while and looked at all of the interesting crafts. We also saw sea lions! One was right up on the boardwalk and another was right below us jumping up for fish! Next we were off to Camps Bay where we took a lot of beautiful pictures and had both the ocean and mountains in the background. For lunch we journeyed to Cape Point. I had amazing fresh seafood curry and vanilla crème brulee! After lunch we hiked to the lighthouse and saw amazing sites and took great pictures. Some believe Cape Point is the most southern tip of Africa, where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet. I will pretend I touched the tip of Africa too and experienced two oceans meeting (even though I know differently), just because it sounds cool! At the end of our trip we saw penguins at Boulders Beach! We were only able to stay for a little bit before it closed but it was so neat to see all of the little cute penguins waddling around.
Tomorrow we are going around to all of our pediatric clinical sites and I am so excited to start work in the hospitals and clinics! This week of orientation was truly amazing and it is really all thanks to Reverend Rose who planned out our whole week (and my awesome parents and grandparents who have helped me make my dream here a reality). I am so grateful to Reverend Rose for choosing me for this program and taking me through all of the different parts of Cape Town.
