I almost didn't go up it... if i knew what iwas going to miss out on i would have been so upset! Table mountain is absolutely spectacular, its a national park and has all sorts of interesting plants and lizards and things. at one point, when i was the only person on the footpath for ages, i actually got stopped by a lizard who was crossing the path to grab a fly. it was really funny, then it just sort of scuttled off. And the view is phenomenal. When i was up there it was partly clear and par...

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!

The Hostel is amazing, really beautiful with grand stair cases and lovely rooms. Its really close t...

I was so overwhelmed by the beauty, I did not know where to look first!
After lunch at the charming Victoria & Alfred Waterfront harbor, we took a ferry to Robben ...

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 seals. There were nine of us on the bus, and nobody moved - we felt sea sick just looking at the swell today. Next stop was a penguin colony, and thankfully on land. Several thousa...
