I was eagerly anticipating Anna's visit! It's been so long since I've seen a friend from home! Anna arrived on a Friday evening and we didn't waste a second hitting the Cape Town sites. We had a delicious dinner at the Victoria and Albert Waterfront and spent plenty of time catching up on the last 7 months.
The next day, Anna suggested we hike up Table Mountain. Luckily the weather cooperated and we made it up the side of a cliff basically in 2 hours. The climb was tough and the top was extremely windy. I thought we were going to blow off so we hid out in the gift shop. We were two hours late to pick up our rental car. Luckily, they stayed open until we got there. Everyone is so helpful here. We hopped in our cute little car, Marshmallow. By the time we got to the Cape of Good Hope, my legs were sore from the earlier hike. But the views were gorgeous and totally worth it. Then it was off to see the penguins. It was dark by this point so we didn't make it down to the beach but there were plenty of penguins in the parking lot and along the street. So cute!
The next day was a little rainy so we took it easy with a delicious brunch at the Bay Hotel with beautiful views of the beach followed by some curios shopping. After our relaxed day, the next day we packed it in. In the In the morning Anna and I froze on the Robben Island tour. Then we headed to Stellenbosch, one of the many wine areas. It was absolutely gorgeous, which made getting lost a little more pleasant. And the wines were divine!
