I traveled approximately 211 km, or 131 miles, this week. This included multiple trips to the UCT campus, as well as going out to eat and shop at places like Crumbs and Cream, Cavendish Square, Mulberry and Prince and the Canal Walk Shopping Centre. I also traveled to and from Clifton Beach and spent some time at friends’ apartments throughout the city.
I have traveled approximately 9,930 miles on this journey so far. This includes 9,140 miles from Seattle, Washington, to Cape Town, South Africa, and another 790 miles from Cape Town, South Africa, to Johannesburg, South Africa.
I got around by using Ubers and walking. Unfortunately, Cape Town is not the safest place to walk around in, especially as a woman when you’re by yourself and the sun is down. I, therefore, limit a lot of my walking to the cafes near my apartment, the grocery stores down the street from me, and the campus of the University of Cape Town.
