Trip with Daddy! (last part)

Back to our city, Cape Town. We're on the 8th of May.
What,s left to do for us? Museums, of course (there is always a museum to visit) and the Cape of Good Hope!
For the museums, I recommend the District Six museum, very interesting, although you must have an existing knowledge of the Apartheid context. The District Six was one of the central areas of Cape Town, where the racial diversity was an example and known to have a very lively atmosphere. In the 1960's, according to apartheid phylosophy and the need to separate people from different people groups, was adopted the Group Area Act (1966) and the District Six was
declared an 'only-white' living area. Without going into details, this act was attributing some
lands to each racial group, the White getting the best ones, even if other people were already living in the place. In 10 years, more than 60 000 people were displaced from the District to the windy Cape Town flats, where were developed the present townships. The neighborhood wasn't the only one affected by this segregation act, but it is one of the best known for the resistance its inhabitants opposed to the government.
In the museum, you can read testimonies from the people, it's really impressive to see all these pieces of life. You can also see a bench reserved for the White, there are the old streets name signs... A really good memory keeper of the atrocities of Apartheid.
That was for the "touristic guide' part!
Then we went to the Cape of Good Hope. After the regular picture with the "Cape of Good Hope" sign, we decided to climb a bit in the rocks, but not too much because we were all tired. This way, we were 30 minutes walk from the very southern-western cape of the African continent, after a 20h flight and 2 hours drive coming from France, but you would have to settle for the sign picture...
I'll go back there I swear, and I'll send the pictures!
But that was funny though, since we could see ostriches and penguins in Simon's Town1 They are so cute! you can almost touch them and they are not afraid at all (since they see 1000 ecstatic tourists everyday...). The best is when they walk or jump out of the water! So funny!

Last touristic guide comment, we went to the "Two Oceans Aquarium", at the Waterfront. It's known to be a beautiful place were you have thousands of sea animals from the two oceans. The thing is that they actually have thousands of animals, but they are stuck in one cubic meter tanks!
That is disgusting, and even though I really loved the adds to enhance friendship between sharks and humans (remake of the 'Jaws' movie, but instead of a shark, a toaster or a chair is going out of the sea, since they kill more men every year than the sharks, 4 people per year. By the way, did you know that 50 people die every year knocked out by a coconut?).
So I wouldn't support the aquarium because I really doubt the animals there are in a real 'reproduction of the natural environment', even though my advise might not be objective since I don't really like all the zoo-aquarium-animal jails stuff in general.
That was my WWF post. :)
Thank you!
