I spent the night Friday and Saturday in a Township called Ocean View with a host family. The Township was made in the 60's when coloured and black South Africans were forced to relocate into designated areas. It was originally barren undesirable desert land in a valley in the middle of the Cape Peninsula but now has become a well connected community.
In terms of housing there are some apartment style buildings, some small houses and an area of corrugated alluminum shacks as well. This picture^ was taken from my host family's front porch.
On Saturday we walked down to a farm near the entrance of the Township where there were all sorts of random attractions. Camel rides were 150 Rand for a half an hour tour down to the Atlantic side of the Peninsula. The camels were mellow and had a really nice stench going on from chewing the cud.
After camel riding I played basketball with the Ocean View team and went back to my host mom Francis' house for a Braai.
