Today I went to the mariner's wharf and beach in Hout Bay with two friends. Two twenty minute mini bus taxi rides for around $2 brought us to this functioning port/fish market. We poked around the marina, checked out a couple shops, ate some delicious fried hake and chips and then settled on the beach for an hour or two.

The beach was surprisingly undeveloped given how picturesque it was and pretty underpopulated despite it being Sunday. Just to the right of the picture below were massive sand dunes that looked exactly like those in Cannon Beach, Oregon.

Overall pretty relaxing day except for the ridiculous ride home. After being jammed in the back row of a mini bus that legally seats 17 uncomfortable people, one fairly intoxicated woman decided to pick on the Americans. She first jokingly said "I know you are rich, pay for my taxi," this turned into her trying to teach us one of the local languages (Xhosa) and by the end of the ride she had asked me to come on a date with her and not to worry because she would pay for everything. She was probably 40 years old... Can't even begin to describe all of the random happenings on mini bus rides.
