    Definitely a must see when in Cape Town. Hired a taxi for the tour, definitely a plus when you want the freedom to stop whenever you want to, price was the same like the one from official tour operators. So if you are a group of 3 or 4 and don't want to drive yourself, consider going by taxi. But you need the whole day if you want to walk around and not just go there to take a few pictures and go back.

    One thing we'd been putting off was washing the car. We wouldn't …

    Hi from Capetown!

    Feels like we are back in TO as we are back to being in a first world country....or at least we thought the first few days. We spoiled ourselves - our hostel had lots of hot water available, comfy beds, and all the green salad and fruits we could eat without having to worry about where it came from or if it was washed! …

    Geburtstag am Kap der Guten Hoffnung

    Also wenn mir jemand vor 10 Jahren gesagt hätte, dass wir den 10. Geburtstag am Kap der Guten Hoffnung feiern, ich hätte wohl nur gelacht. Aber so war es dann doch stellenweise ein sehr emotionaler Tag für uns alle.
    Früh ging es los mit Kerzen ausblasen und Kuchen, wie sich das gehört am Geburtstag. Und dann ging auch schon unser Ausflug los. …
