Cape Town and possibly a short rant :)

OK first the rant.
Mom decided to tell me that my blogs had spelling errors in them, I know that. But I am only on the computer for so long and I am shooting for content not accuracy. If you can figure out what I was trying to say then it worked didn't it? Love you mom! (but seriously check my spelling on something important like homework or something:)
Second I would love to put pictures up too but have no way to do so until we get back in the U.S. I will do that for sure when I get back so come back to check after we get back.
Now on to Capetown!
This weekend we went to Cape Town for "rest and relaxation" (I think I would have gotten more in prison with a huge roommate named Bubba). We flew so it was not a bad trip, it only takes 2 hours in either direction. I think I have flown more on this trip than I have in my entire life, in fact I know I have. I have come to one important conclusion, I like South African Airlines. They have decent food and better pilots(according to me). In 2 more flights I will be back in the States and you can all see pictures!
Back to Cape Town. The first day we landed and got our vans(called taxis here, vans are pickups, soo confusing) then proceeded to our hostel. The dirve was incredible, and we ended up right by Table Mountain. We had a little bit to chill and then we headed to the Waterfront. This is basicall a giant mall with lots and lots of restaurants. I neglected to mention that we did all of this on Nelson Mandela's birthday. Thankfully we did not go there until later though because I have a feeling a few people were there to make the trip out to Robben Island(that might not be spelled right, mom don't yell). Then we returned to the hostel where I was in a bed that still creaked but at least I didn't feel the iron supports in my back. (Side note: I have a new room in pretoria now too!)
The next day we didn't leave until 11am we headed towards the Cape of Good Hope. We made it all the way to a point where we had to go across the mountains/peninsula because the road was closed. This actually worked to our favor because we were able to see the penguins at Boulders(So cute but they smell like poo) Got some awesome pictures, almost stepped on one, you know the usual. We ate in Simon'sTown and then proceeded on our trip. Entering the park our van pretended to see an animal and slam on the brakes to see what the other van would do, of course they fell for it, but then we actually did see an ostrich. After parking we hiked to the starting point where some people went down to the beach and others went up to the lighthouse(s). I went to the lighthouse and tried to take pictures along the way, but my batteries died, I borrowed some and still got a few pics.
Three of the leaders, Carly and I decided to go to the Point where the second lighthouse is(the one they built lower after the Lusitania sunk) We had half an hour and took off, we came to a sign that said "return hike 1.5 hours" we looked at it and said there's no way, so we took off. It was a pretty brisk walk. We make it out to the point in about 10 minutes, we're good. Then we paused to look and take a couple pictures, then ran away. AND I MEAN RAN we only slowed down so that we didn't knock a little girl of the path and when a group of elderly people got in the way. WE made it bake to the vans with 2 minutes to spare (1.5 hours sign, I scoff at you).
Ok I have to go but hopefully I can continue this later. SO TAFN.
