South Africa - Day 3

Day 3 was the only day that both Dain and I had absolutely no FDPs.
There was a lot of things we wanted to do that day, but it turned out to
be Sunday which meant that almost nothing was opened. I really wanted to
go to Cape Point, but Michael and Becca didn't and Dain didn't feel
comfortable with just the two of us so I had to cave. Instead, we went
to the V+A Waterfront and just went shopping for the morning. I ended up
finding GF bread in two different places and got some new clothes. On
the way back from the mall the douche security guard gave me problems
about my bread and took it away, despite the fact that it is on my
medical records and registered with the dining facilities. So he took it
and wrote my name on it and then put it in the direct sunlight until I
got a note from the doctor (keep in mind that the clinic is only open to
do this from 730-8 in the morning, so it was going to have sit out there
and mold for the next 14+ hours). Well, I was pretty pissed about that,
and I went to see if I could just maybe "run into" Dr. Bill. I didn't,
but I was hopeful that he would actually check with the Dr. to make sure
it was okay and give it back to me that night.
That night, Dain, Becca, Michael, Lexi, Cameron and I went to the top of
table mountain for sunset. There are two ways to get up there - by
hiking or by cable car - but since we were already pushing time, and it
is half price at sunset, we took the cars up. We made it just in time
and were able to see the entire city fall into night. Best of all, Becca
wanted to play with my camera so now I had Dain taking pictures on one
end for me and Becca on the other while I just got to do whatever :). We
took like 600 pictures combined, and a lot of them are really, really
good. The city looked absolutely beautiful from above and if the cable
cars ran past 8:30 I could have stayed up there a lot longer.
When we got back to the ship I asked the security guard I went to (the
one next to Rufus) and asked about my bread. Instead of letting the
security guard answer, Rufus stopped searching the bag of the person
next to me to get in my face and yell at me. I was completely furious at
this (and so was Dain) especially since I wasn't even talking to him,
and went inside to the purser's desk to see who I could talk to about
this crap. As luck would have it, Dr. Bill was standing right there! So
I asked him and he told me that he couldn't find my name in the system.
"Alisa Rachel right?" So fucking idiot Rufus apparently can't read
either because clearly my ID says Alisa Kashdan, not Rachel. Our next
step was to go the R.A on Duty and tell her the whole story. We were
telling Taishia my whole list of allergies, and that Dr. Bill and the
dining staff know, and I'm not upset at Rufus doing his job, I am upset
at the way he is doing it and all that. And guess what? Half an hour
later I have my bread and it has been approved that I can bring more on
by the security chief. But my battle with Rufus wasn't over yet...
