During the last weekend in September, the ladies of High-C spent nearly every single one of our waking (and some sleeping) hours together. The Friday night sha-bang included a packed taxi ride to the Old Biscuit Mill for the “We Love Real Beer” Festival where the some of the best South African brewers cater a night of beer and music. With similarities to Europe’s Octoberfest, people from across Cape Town gather to welcome in the beginnings of fall and eat and drink some of the most renowned beverages in the country. Stands with delicious flatbread pizzas, warm homemade falafel, mouthwatering dips and spreads, and incredible sandwiches line the edges of the white tent, setting an unmatched backdrop for a good time in the Cape.
Saturday morning and afternoon were spent on Imhoff Farm in Nordhoek where we rode horses on the beach, shared a celebratory birthday lunch for one of our housemates, and saw camels on our way home! Prancing down the coast on top of a gorgeous sandy horse named Indie, I felt as though I was living in a movie. After a 30-minute cab ride home, we took a couple hour power-nap before getting dressed for an African drumming lesson and dinner at the Gold Restaurant. The evening was entertaining and filling to say the least—consisting of 13 dishes of traditional South African food—and the perfect way to top off a nearly perfect day.
