So this morning at 10am we were sipping wine and sorbet and nursing our aching muscles on a beautiful winery in a small town called Stollenbosch, 20 minutes drive from Capetown. We ran a great race of 18km through the vineyards and Darl, back to his old self, won the race!! He even beat the ringer they brought out to challenge him from Pretoria, who has an impressive race history.
What haven't we done in Capetown??? Yesterday we hiked up Table Mountain, and then all the way back down, totally about 19km of hiking to top off our hardcore week of training for Comrades! We are up to nearly 100 miles this week and our legs are feeling it!! Thank god there is so much wine for cheap around here to sooth our aching muscles!!
We also biked around Cape Point, saw mini penguins (that were absolutely adorable, especially when they try to jump!!), wine tasting, botanical gardens, and this Monday we are going shark cage diving! Apparently someone was eaten whole by a great white the other day in Capetown... with people on the shore to witness it! So hopefully we don't die...
Then off to Durban on Tuesday, but first stopping along the coast for some rest. Should be a long haul, about 22 hrs in total by bus. Then a 52km race this weekend... good times!!
Love you all, you all need to come to Capetown immediately!!

soooo?!?!?!? did you survive the shark cage diving?
ReplyDeletebarely!!! darl puked the whole day from sea sickness and the shark bit off his big toe. it was tragic. My new pet name for him is "stubby". You can hardly notice his limp.
ReplyDeleteUhh, I hope you're joking about the toe...
ReplyDeleteSo today someone was telling me a story about this punk concert, and then said, oh, it really wouldn't have been your scene. He went on to describe the experiences in the mosh pit, so of course I had to tell him about the time you moshed into my nose. hahaha.
Love you!
Come on now, you've really got to clear up this toe business in the you know, SHARK CAGE!!!???
