It was a fun morning, but we were soon hungry and left, ducking into the nearest warehouse set of shops, and got lost in there awhile, looking at souvenirs, until we organized to move on in search of lunch. Next door was another warehouse called the V&A (Victoria and Albert) Food Market, full of all sorts of food and drink vendors, including juicers, biltong (jerky), crepes, cheese vendors, etc. We each got a different lunch and sat upstairs near the bar where we enjoyed our meals and cheap local brews from South Africa awhile. Miles talked about beer making with one of the bartenders who shared the hobby.
We eventually decided to move on to the scratch patch across the street, a rocks and minerals business where jewelry was sold inside, and who also sold bags and cups for filling to small children in a giant room full of rocks and minerals outside. Despite the rain, a few kids happily filled their bags with pretty rocks. We shopped around and then took a cab to the canteen, hoping once more for enough room to eat there. Alas, we were disappointed, and so walked (it isn't far from the hotel) around looking for another restaurant.
The one we chose, mainly due to needing to go to bed soon, was not memorable but for Erik's dinner, which came on a delightfully strange contraption:
