After a full day of volunteering, the evening’s event was a sunset cruise around the beautiful V&A waterfront. We were joined by Ivy, our cook, for cruise as well as Jan, Jess, and Sean. When we got to the docks (after a little souvenir shopping) we boarded our sailboat. Once we settled in, we realized we were in for a treat! The wind was a little strong at times and before we made it out of the harbor we were drenched. That is when the trip started to turn educational as Ivy taught us some Xhosa. It could have been a miserable journey to watch the sun set over the water but the group kept a positive outlook and enjoyed the experience thoroughly. The sunset was beautiful and the crew of the boat was great! Along the way we saw the stadium from a different view as well as table mountain. It was a good thing we had previously toured Robben Island because the crew of the boat tried to convince us that it was Australia.
After the tour and sunset we journeyed into the nearby mall for dinner. Everyone was exhausted after a long day of volunteering and sightseeing so sitting and enjoying a meal was high on most people’s lists. After a delicious meal, Sedick drove us home for the night and we crawled into bed after a wonderfully exhausting day.
