On the social side
- official face to face launch of Wiki Loves Women in Tanzania and Uganda !
- went for a 2 hours visit of the awesome en:Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden !
- Took the Ubuntu Township Tour trip, as I felt Cape Town should not only be WaterFront and TableMoutains (which I did not have the time to visit, sadly). Took a collection of photos to illustrate District 6 on Commons.
- attended a Wiki in Africa board meeting dinner
- assisted Harmonia to get her flight back to France on time :) (there really was a problem with the pre-booking of the transportation system to and fro the airport...)
- was featured on the cutest Wikimania 2018 picture (really drank too much that night though...)
