Thursday evenings, there is a market that starts at 5pm and runs to 8:30pm right nex to our school in Hope Street! It's the City Bowl Market and it is wonderful!
It is indoors in a kind of city hall and there are a lot of stands with different foods and there is a wine tasting. It has a very lively atmosphere and the food is amazing! I had a burger, Karin had an Egyptian rice-humus-something with yoghurt on top and Luzia (who brought us there for her last evening) had some mixed meat and potato platter. Everything was delicious and the brownies we had for dessert where exactly how brownies are supposed to be. We also did some wine tasting, but I'm still not a wine person. so I guess I couldn't appreciate that the way I could :)
There were also some stands with jewellery and cloths, we tried things on and wanted to buy some, but we didn't have enough money with us. Seems that's no problem here at all: I will get my dress delivered today, Karin will get her vest soon, also delivered to her! What a service!
The designers that made my dress were a gay couple and they were wonderful to talk to and I was surprised to see gays in my second week in Cape Town, for both of my guide books say that it is pretty unusual and very hard to be gay in South Africa! Maybe that changed for the better already. I really enjoyed the market, I loved the food and I am looking forward to getting my dress today.
