Spotty wifi at St. Paul's Guest House

The on and off nature of the wifi where we're staying, plus it's short range, is making blogging difficult.  Hope to get a good account of our time in Cape Town uploaded soon. Meanwhile, a few pictures while the wifi is functioning!

Tuesday we had a walking tour with Lucy Campbell, who talks about the colonial history and slavery in Cape Town.

We then visited the Slave Lodge museum to learn more about the history of slavery.  After lunch on our own, we toured the District 6 museum, learning about forced removals in Cape Town from a man, Joe, who lived through it all. 

We then ended the day attending a dinner theater - first time for some of us - and the buffet was excellent!

Highlights on Wednesday:

We were bussed to the University of the Western Cape to visit the Mayibuye Archives of the apartheid resistance 

This was followed by lunch at the Kopanong B&B in the township of Kayelitsha and a walking tour of the surrounding area.

Our last visit of hand day was to the Philani Maternal and Child Health Center - all and all a very interesting and eye opening day

More later!
