Basically, it seems you get one of two weather conditions here in Cape Town at this time of year. Either mostly blue skies and pleasant 15-20C, or sleet, wind and storms...
I cant complain at all about the weather iv had for the most part, but today was the latter unfortunatley.
This just meant i took the day to do some indoors-activities, namely the Aquarium and Waterfront area/ malls.
The aquarium was decent enough. Lots of species of fish the Melbourne Aquarium dosnt have, along with some very trendy African penguins.
From there I ambled around the waterfront... which seems to be the more expensive area of Cape Town. All i picked up was a 'Bafana Bafana' tshirt for about 15$au. From there i went to watch Italy Paraguay which (unfortunatly) ended up as a draw, despite an early Paraguay goal against the play.
