last days in Cape Town

Today is our last day in Cape Town. We went to the organic Cafe for the last time and the owner gave us a big hug. Tomorrow at 8 am we will lug our backpacks onto a bus and travel for 8 hours northeast to Plattenburg, our first stop of many!  I know most people who know me will think its quite funny and hardly believable that I would riding a bus let alone with a backpack, let alone for four weeks. But I am really looking forward to seeing something new everyday and meeting people from around the world. The good thing is the green hue of my backpack matches my Long Champ bag!  

I will be traveling for four weeks along the coast of South Africa with Maryeke. We will finish our trip in Lesotho, a small country that is totally land locked my South Africa. Maryeke will travel to J-burg from there and I will stay on for nearly 3 weeks volunteering at another orphanage outside  of Meseru the capital of Lesotho. 

I am highly looking forward to my time in Lesotho. I have felt drawn to this country for months and I can't believe it is working out for me to spend so much time there.

Cape Town has been an amazing experience but I am ready and excited to the next chapter in this African Adventure.
