This was a beautiful place to watch the sun set. table mountain was stunning as the city sat below it. The sand was clean, but the water was very cold. People were out doing this thing called kite surfing. Was the most interesting thing to see. We watched as these guys jumped way up into the air ov…

I can’t believe I almost gave Table Mountain a miss. I was umm-ing and ahh-ing about paying 85 Rand to see it, but it turned out to be worth every cent. I went up the mountain by cable car at about 9.30 am and didn’t come back down ‘til 2 pm and even then, I didn’t really want to leave. &n…

A few photos from my first ever trip to Southern Africa. Since this ended up being more of an urban adventure, I hope to return again soon for some animal explorations

Time to go home! Tonight we will catch the plane back to Holland and this little vacation is over. But first... a tour to the Cape Peninsula packed with so many activities that it seems a vacation in itself! Since our plane would not leave until 11 PM, we had a whole day left. So after checking ou…

So we are finally here and finally on our way to our adventures. After a delayed 11 hour flight we arrived in Cape Town a bit bleery eyed to be greeted by drizzle- we could have been in England!

We began preparing for our trip three weeks ahead. Since I worked for…

I have travelled to Africa for a friend.  He asked, I agreed. As I was packing my bags, someone asked me a question. The question was:  "Why are you going all the way there?  I can't even understand why you are friends with that guy?  You have nothing in common and he is nothi…

My 7 days bazbus pass finally exprires as I reached Capetown. Known as Mother City among local. The first day I went out strolling down from Long Street where my hostel was to the Waterfront.

Our last bit of sightseeing.  Today we set out on a trip to Cape Point, that in the summer would be fantastic, but we unfortunately didn't pick the right day for it. Our guide first of all took us to a place on the coast  - Hout Bay - where we could go on a boat to a little island to see …
