Khayelitsha Day 2

We woke up and had tea and donut like pastrys before packing up and leaving Vicky's.
We headed out to the District 6 museum to see what it was like to be forced out of your house and into segregated areas in a short time. It was shocking to learn that once segregated into different areas the different groups werent even allowed to associate with each other. I couldnt image living in a world where you couldnt talk to friends you have had for years just because they were a different color than you.
We had an early lunch today since we didnt have much at Vicky's. We had about 45 minutes to grab something before we had to meet with the City of Cape Town's Communications Department where we got to learn the ins and outs of planning for a FIFA World Cup. I wasnt aware that it takes over 4 years to get it all sorted out.
It was finally nice enough outside to go up Table Mountain. It was about 35 degrees at the top but well worth it. The view of the city from that high is incredible, unfortunately the cloud cover comes in really fast so it can ruin some pictures. dont worry though I got a few. There is a little cafe/restaurant at the top where you can grab a coffee to warm up.
