We started the day with news that the sea was so rough last night that 2 barges broke off their tugs and capsized, that a group of students were stranded on an Island and that there were many power outages. We were lucky to have scattered clouds and temperate weather.
Our breakfast that is included at the hotel is an amazing buffet- gigantic- to Eric's delight.
We bought all day passes on a double decker bus that goes everywhere and gives you commentary while on it. We checked out the town all day. A castle, outdoor African crafts market, lunch at a cool authentic African restaurant, cableway that rotates 360 degrees and takes you to the top of Able Mountain (amazing views) drove along the coast and ended at the Waterfront where we let the kids convince us to go see the movie Transformers before dinner. Some observations: we don't really feel like we are in Africa yet. More a European/carribbean Monterey/san Francisco. Definitely a developed country with plenty of wealth here.
We sat out under the heating lamps with blankets by the ocean tonight. It is very rough. We saw rescue missions on the beach today for two containers that washed ashore (BIG) that officials didn't know what were in them or where they came from.
Oh- Amy wins the bravery award today for having crocodile kabobs for lung.
