Shark Bait OHH AHH AHH

On Saturday morning we headed out on the boat towards Seal Island where we would sit on the boat waiting for some Great Whites to swim around.  The scary thing is we were not too far away from where all the surfers were!  We waited for a few hours but only one shark came around.  Since we did not get in the water, they offered for us to stay all day on the boat and come back out with the afternoon group.  Since we had nothing planned, we decided to take advantage of their offer.  In the afternoon, we got a little more lucky.  We were able to get in our wetsuits and get in the cage.  We were able to see a few, but not as lucky as some were with having many swim around the cage.  At least we got to see a few, and relax the entire day soaking up African sunshine on the boat.

The next morning Leah and I had a private mass said for us.  Leah was not feeling well so we went back to the Hostel.  Our new friend Wesley that we met working there hung out all day and we were able to watch some seasons of How I Met Your Mother.  I ended up taking a walk on the beach by myself, which was nice and refreshing.  Later that afternoon when I got back we said our goodbyes and headed back towards Capetown.





















In Cape Town we did various things such as shopping, a free concert, bargaining at the Green Square Market, trying many different restaurants, a wine tasting tour, and hiking Table Mountain.  Our eleven days went by too quickly, but it was a great vacation!
