We traveled about 30 minutes up the western coastline for a beach BBQ. We enjoyed a very relaxed dinner with a spectacular view of the ocean in front and mountain range behind. The food and wine were plentiful throughout the week and tonight was no different.

Uber excited over the new website that is to be launched towards the end of the year. Struggling with updates and all but hey in the end it's all worth itSo kee http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/South-Africa/Western-Cape/Cape-Town/Camps-Bay/blog-520770.html The end is nearing and it definitely feels like it. Being the last few days of my vacation Ive begun partying harder in the nights if that is possible but taking more relaxing days. Surprisingly I woke up today at 1030 only 4.5 hours after sleeping after a much intense night of partying. I grubbed on some yogurt and oats and then 12 of us headed down to play a little 6 v. 6 soccer. Everyon http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/South-Africa/Western-Cape/Cape-Town/Camps-Bay/blog-510818.html Today I woke up and it was raining outside. Not just raining but torrential downpours. So we stayed at home for most of the day playing bananagrams and other games before the first game. We watched the first game at home and then took a cab to the stadium for the Portugal vs. Spain game. I was extremely disappointed by the way that the Portuguese played but was very impressed with David Villas http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/South-Africa/Western-Cape/Cape-Town/Camps-Bay/blog-510814.html It was pretty warm today. So the five of us Evan Orrin Tanner Maaike my new dutch roommate pronounced Micah and I spent the majority of the afternoon today on the beach. Clifton is a small town in between Sea Point and Camps Bay with cliffs and housescondosapts on both sides of the road. When the tide isn't too high there are these fabulous beaches that you walk down to. Today the waves http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/South-Africa/Western-Cape/Cape-Town/Camps-Bay/blog-508388.html Today had to be the best day so far at the World Cup. I have to admit after a couple days in the house here in Camps Bay I was worried that we wouldnt be doing as much sightseeing and exciting stuff but rather just chilling in the house watching the games and going to the games that we had tickets for. But after today I am definitely super excited and cant believe that I get to be at t http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/South-Africa/Western-Cape/Cape-Town/Camps-Bay/blog-507617.html Today I woke up at 11am still loving the vacation time. Not wearing a watch I dont really ever know what time it is. I simply tell time by what World Cup game is currently on or next. A bunch of us hit up the same Clifton Beach I went to earlier this week while two of the guys went to hit up some internet in the town since our internet connection back home was out. We played a little soccer at http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/South-Africa/Western-Cape/Cape-Town/Camps-Bay/blog-507267.html Today I woke up around noon. After eating some homemade muffins 2 of the girls decided to go on a hike to the top of Table Mountain while most of the guys were going to head to the grocery store to get some meats to bbq in the evening. I decided to go with the girls on the hike thinking it would be a relatively easy hike. I was definitely sadly mistaken. The sign at the beginning of the hike said http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/South-Africa/Western-Cape/Cape-Town/Camps-Bay/blog-507261.html Today I woke up at 1pm definitely loving the vacation and not having to wake up at 630 every morning especially after a 5am night. The bathroom has two separate faucets one for hot water and one for old water which makes the morning rituals a little more interesting. I have to cup a little bit of cold water and then cup some hot water to get the warm water face rinse. After a longer than normal http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/South-Africa/Western-Cape/Cape-Town/Camps-Bay/blog-507258.html As you know if you read my yesterdays blog I made many changes to my room and sleeping arrangement to ensure that I wake up on time today. Surprisingly it worked pretty well and I ended up waking up at 330 only 2 hours after I went to sleep the previous nightthis morning. After walking downstairs to check the time I realized that I had awoken too early and then proceeded to go back to bed.
