Day 17: Plettenberg Bay to Cape Town

The hostel we stayed at last night in Keurboomstrand, just west of Plettenberg Bay, had amazing views of the beach from fourth floor wrap around deck.

After checking out the beach and the Indian Ocean across the street, we set sail on the Garden Route once again.  We stopped at Knysna for a great breakfast at East Head Cafe by the beautiful Knysna Heads.

After breakfast, we hit the road once again for Cape Town.

Once in Cape Town we met up with my friend Prab from Boston University and his buddy Hillard from his hometown of Providence.  After seeing Table Mountain and Lion's Head from the City Bowl - I can't wait to hike up them tomorrow.  We ate one of the best meals I've had in SA yet at Mama Africa on Long St.   Long St. is basically Cape Town's version of New Orlean's Bourbon St.  Prab is taking me there to watch the USA - Ghana game tomorrow night.  As for Mama Africa, when we are back here in two weeks, we are definitely coming back for another meal with Mom and Joe.  The Crocodile and Warthog were that good!  And on top of the great food, there was an awesome live marimba band.  My dad explains their lead singer with the singing and dancing ability of the king of pop, mixed with the gift of hitting some low operetta barytone notes....I'll take his word for it...you just watch the movie:
