The Big Wheel

On Friday I went on the Big Wheel in the Waterfront in Cape Town. We’d been planning the spin in the giant ferris wheel for the past week. So when Friday morning poked its rain-drenched head into the Mother City, we were rather miffed.

We dressed up, and not wanting to waste a good outfit on an insignificant day, we headed off to Cape Town to ride it anyway.

Boy, was it wet. Luckily the wheel has enclosed carriages, but the rain obscured most of the view. A big grey navy ship was also docked in the harbour, but we couldn’t really see it that well.

But all-in-all, it was rather fun (despite my mini panic-attack during the first revolution). Thanks Mom, Dad and Linda for a great afternoon!!
