Docking in Cape Town
The waves were lapping against the side of the boat as the skyline of Cape Town, South Africa. This particular trip was to find the perfect hoop earring for the Lucy Nash collection. I wanted to see the perfect piece for my ear that would add a great accent.
Dodging the Gang
The goal was to find the perfect hoop earring to wear in my collection. It needed to be elegant and a product I would recommend to anyone who asked. I had a piercing up at the top of my ear that would be a perfect home for the new selection.
Unfortunately, I had to meet with my guide first and he wasn't at the dock. My phone was incredibly slow in this foreign country as the plan was based out of the United States. A text came through that I quickly read, saying that I should meet my guide at the market. He had attached an image of the market as well.
I then headed towards the market, thanks to a downloaded map, but heard some rapid footsteps behind me. I could hear metal scraping on the ground (sounding like it was from a pipe).
Without turning around I started running to free myself from the situation. I quickly made it to the market. It was a close call. My guide told me that there are frequent gang attacks for young tourist women. So much for having a guide.
Making My Way Through The Market
As I went through the market with my guide, I perused the selection of gold products for the perfect item to add to the collection. The shop owners were a bit more aggressive than I had experienced in the past as each tried to share their product, hoping I may purchase.
Unfortunately I didn't find anything that fit my taste. I saw several different earrings in the shops, but nothing that really got me excited.
Something to Please the Senses
As we got to the back of the market I noticed a small stand doing piercing for free. The line was wrapped around the stall.
I approached and saw that they were selling a beautiful 8mm hoop earring that was solid 14k gold. This piece was gorgeous but a bit too expensive. I was also worried about the size so I tried it on my ear.
