It was pretty depressing as we spent the last morning in Cape Town slowly packing up our things and saying goodbye to a hostel that had come to feel very much like home over the past few days. Even the backpackers felt empty though, with all of the friends we had made already left. For breakfast we finished up any leftover food from all the groceries we had bought at the beginning of the trip and then for lunch we went to a Japanese restaurant from which the taxi picked us up and took us to the airport.
A smooth slight and a short wait in the Johannesburg airport later, a man from the hostel we would be staying overnight at picked us up and took us to the mall where John and Yvette would be picking us up again for dinner. In case there was any question of whether we were in Joburg or not, during our wait at the mall we managed to see a guy get arrested for robbing a store, the police handcuffing him to a shopping cart before taking them away.
John and Yvette took us to their friends’ house where we were gracious welcomed. We ate delicious butternut squash soup, vegetable lasagna, and baked apples and met Jesse Eyesensnorts, their cute rescue pug named for his cartoonish, bulging eyes and characteristic sniffles.
