Fantastic to stay in town. For once, instead of living in the suburbs, I enjoyed the city life. And it is so simple to do, one can just walk to a coffee place or even to the work place. A very unusual feeling for me to experience in Cape Town. And I felt safe, probably because there are many visible security guards.
I have to admit that not always things work according to plan, as on this on this one Monday. Starting at 9am, I went to the hairdresser to find out that it is closed on Mondays. I walked then to the Natural History Museum to watch their special exhibition on wildlife photographer of the year, but the museum opens only at 10am. After a little wait, I very much enjoyed the pictures but walking through the aisles I came accross this strange looking white rhino: where are its horns? A little sign explained that the museum had a break-in before Christmas and that the thieves robbed the horns!! I guess the thieves figured out that it would be easier that way than to kill a wild rhino in the bush...
Then I headed to a specialised shop to have my tennis racket restrung. But I was told that the machine is broken and that it would take more than a week for the missing spare part to be installed. So I drove to my favourite shopping mall but the sport shop there did not even have the necessary equipment. So I walked upstairs to buy some children's clothes, but on the main window there was a sign "closed due to water leakage" and I could see a lot of buckets dotting the floor.
Do I need to mention that my friend was then seriously late for lunch... Thankfully, the afternoon went much better. Still Cape Town is a great city and I am not the only one saying so, as its current Mayor was voted "world mayor of the year". Congratulations!
