Doh, Sat night had a temperature alternating with chills a sure sign of food poisoning (I blame the cold pieces of the godawful pizza I created I still compelled to chew). Nevertheless I tried to get out and about, hung out in a mall in Cavendish, went to the waterfront etc. Awesome merimba, drum and tribal dance bands playing on the streets. Francoise went home as I hung around and stupidly wearin a Vic Falls tee shirt ie scrreaming tourist attracted the attention of every down and out person in the vicinity. I had an articulate Zimbabwean approach me in a bookstore and tell me his life story. It was either a very convincing con or very upsetting. Then there were the two emaciated women who ran off with my drink bottle. Lots of street kids and homeless in Cape Town, the darker side of its tourist town image.
After getting in a taxi that needed to be push started, got back to Francoise and we went to an Ethiopian Resterant. So tasty and filling yet I was a bit too queasy to really enjoy..
Its Sun and I still feel ill but gotta get back to some NZ Docs back home. On a plane in a few hours.
See you all when we see you!
