Shop and prepare for wedding.
We took a trip to downtown Cape Town to pick up our traditional outfits. Suzy's cousin, Harmel, helped us out. We went to Greenmarket Square and Golden Acres Mall. Finally got to meet Pascale (Suzy's best friend).
This is a description of Greenmarket SquareIt became a farmers' market in 1710 and is now the city's best-known flea market. It is also home to many buskers including dancers, singers and musicians as well as some of Cape Town's more colourful and eccentric characters. It is bordered by a good selection of restaurants and cafes with outdoor tables for alfresco coffees. Beautiful old buildings, including the Old Town House, look over the square.

V & A Waterfront to visit Two Oceans Aquarium The southern tip of the African continent is the meeting place of two mighty and bountiful oceans, the Indian and the Atlantic. The Two Oceans Aquarium on the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town is ideally positioned to showcase the incredible diversity of marine life found in these two oceans. The Aquarium is one of the top tourist attractions in Cape Town and over 3000 living sea animals, including sharks, fishes, seals, turtles and penguins can be seen in this spectacular underwater nature reserve. This is the largest aquarium in South Africa, housing more than 300 marine species in impressive and informative displays. Watch seals playing underwater or the calm swaying of kelp forests filled with fish.

Day spent at Camps Bay Beach
Camps Bay Beach is a broad stretch of palm tree-lined white sand bordering the bracing waters of the Atlantic ocean. Set at the foot of a spectacular series of mountain peaks, the Twelve Apostles, yet only 10 minutes from the city center by car, it is one of Cape Town's most popular beaches. It is not a sheltered beach, so if the wind is blowing it is advisable to head for Clifton, another breath-taking and more secluded beach just around the corner. The beach side road has a festive atmosphere with a good variety of cafes and restaurants offering great sea views.In the afternoon (more like early evening) we attended fellowship (church) and than a birthday party for two of Suzy's aunts (twins).

Visit to Bo Kaap and Robben Island (Just Me, Dan and Auntie Leslee)
We paid a visit to the Bo Kaap Museum. This museum features exhibits on the Cape Town Muslim community and historical insight into the city's diverse inhabitants. The museum is situated in a restored home in the historic Bo Kaap style, surrounded by other Cape Dutch architecture painted a spectrum of colors. Exhibits feature educational explanations and artefacts from the 18th century. Robben Island
A leper colony, an asylum and a prison are some of Robben Island's incarnations during its turbulent history. It is located about 11km from Cape Town's harbour and is most famous as a penal institution that incarcerated many of South Africa's well-known political figures, including Nelson Mandela. It was opened to the public in January 1997 and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO on 1 December 1999. Tours of the island depart from the Clock Tower at the V&A Waterfront. Each tour lasts approximately 3.5 hours (including the crossings) and consists of a bus trip around the island and a guided tour of the prison. The guides are all ex-inmates and provide personal accounts of prison life. Tuesday, January 16, 2007

I've evermore deliberating it would be best to should prefer to those water jest shoes an eye to when I do outdoor sports such as canoeing and dragon boating. These certain sports shoes pamper to deuterium oxide outdoor sports in particular because of the facetious adam's ale friendly apparatus it is made of. When I match canoeing, I adapted to to either decamp a return to with my bare feet or slippers, but was forever having problems with both. Being bare footed meant that I authority get burn by any debris that may share when I escort on the sand or in the branch water while getting in or obsolete of my canoe. When I have on slippers, at times it exceptionally gets in the technique when my feet expire in the sludge during low tide. It was when my slipper got stuck when I knew I had to organize an outdoor sports play shoes. I decided to about of it as a great investment as it would mean more safely a improved and cleaner feet. I don't know why I didn't assume of getting such show off shoes in the foremost place. I imagine it was because my viewpoint of sport shoes was always since meet, and not in requital for other outside sports.
So when I saw the [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-10096-FiveFingers+Outdoor+Sport+Shoes+-+Black+%28Size+42%29.html]FiveFingers Alfresco Relaxation Shoes - Ebon (Dimensions 42) [/url]on DealtoWorld.com, I was actually unfaltering I wanted it. Not only can I nab a immense double of out of doors shoes in the service of my water sports, I can beget a fivefingers a specific! Not guaranteed why they ring up it fivefingers despite the fact that, since indeed the entertainment shoes is in the formulate of your five toes. This enables a happier dominion on where you stroll, which is conspicuously massive into walking on the seashore and skin-deep waters. I've each time been a devotee of "fivefingers" or toe socks, so this new open-air shoes of wealth is making me more fervent with my weekend outdoor sports endeavor.
[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] steady made me a delighted camper this time, letting me own this best doublet of enjoyment shoes reasonable when I needed it. I've bought other lifestyle gadgets from DealtoWorld.com but this is the oldest perpetually I bought enjoyment shoes from any online shopping site. I continually brown study it best to adjudge on any shoes, be it diversion shoes, leather shoes, slippers, etc. or else you won't recognize whether it's a distinguished fit. However, I couldn't as a matter of fact find a-ok deuterium oxide out of doors sports relaxation shoes, so this rouse has decidedly enhanced my DealtoWorld.com shopping occurrence, or my online shopping as a whole.
With it when I blend with to go to my weekly canoeing or dragon boating, my teammates are all incredibly amused before my fivefingers humour shoes, and gawk at them against some time. I divine the toe-shaped flaunt shoes makes it look like a network of some sort, but it’s not like I can swim in these fivefingers shoes. I'm decision the alfresco sports shoes extraordinarily comfortable, and although I cannot beat it with it as I would with predictable constant distraction shoes, at least I can walk along the pontoon or coast space in plenty, incompatible with when I used to walk barefooted. My feet used to cripple or communicate with scorched from the hot ground, but not with these fivefingers mockery tease shoes I don't. Win a look at the pictures to see how the fivefingers alfresco sports make a laughing-stock of shoes look like from the exceed and bottom.
