Arrived in Africa

Well we have finally arrived in Cape Town. Yesterday was a long day. We checked out of our hotel, and tried hanging out by the pool at our hotel for a while in the shade, but that didn't last long. We staggered through the heat to grab a quick lunch, and then headed to Dubai Mall (the largest mall in the world) - mostly for some air conditioning! We wandered around there, had dinner, watched a movie, and watched the fountain show outside the mall - in front of the Burj Khalifa (which is currently the tallest building in the world). We headed back to our hotel and went to the airport. We were really early for our flight, but we were exhausted so we just hung around the airport until finally our flight left at 3:50am. We both slept most of the way, so that was good. We arrived into a sunny Cape Town, with a lovely, refreshing temperature of around 24. We made our way to our hotel by the waterfront in Cape Town, Protea Breakwater. We had a yummy lunch out by the waterfront, with a margarita to celebrate our arrival to Africa. We wandered through some shops at the waterfront, and I wished I was able to fill my suitcases with beautiful african goods.
We are just having a relaxing afternoon, and will get to bed early tonight, so we are ready to go for our early pick up tomorrow for a day of shark diving!
