SA National Gallery...

Today has been just a quiet Sunday. The weather is quite cold... now we finally felt the wind they were all talking about.. and it's raining. There's a "tablecloth" on Table Mountain (this is how they call the clouds covering the mountain).

We went to the South African National Gallery and saw some really impressive works of art there. The entrance to the museum is free on Saturdays, so I will definitely go back another time and take some pictures.

Afterwards, we went to the Waterfront and had some rooibos tea there (a typical South African drink).

When we returned home we saw that our landlady, a Muslim woman called Ielhaam had cleamed our rooms! I was so embarrassed, because my room was such a mess... She is really so nice to us! Also, she gave both of us 2 necklaces she had made herself...

In
South Africa, Muslims are very different from what we typically think of them; no strict codes for behaviour, clothing etc.
