Beautiful Cape Town. We did the tourist things here. Day one was visit family whom i have never met before for afternoon tea. Bernie is my dads cousin. Day two we spent driving from town to St James beach, down to Cape Point to Cape of Good Hope then back along the coast to Kalk Bay, in the evening we went to the Waterfront and had a scary ride in …

Day 2 @ Cape Town. Off to adventure.

Cheetah sanctuary, beach, tree houses supper. And probably some shopping! Yikes!

Tomorrow morning we check out and head to wine country.

Today was yet another spectacular day in South Africa. but let me start with our dinner from last evening. We were treated to an authentic Western Africa dinner and cultural experience at Gold in town. The Stewart Tribe was seated in a room and each given a drum as Izzi a Zulu tribe member led us in a drum song....after many tries we all finally …

As I contemplate leaving Cape Town after an action-packed, exhilarating first three and a bit days in Africa, I realise that we completely underestimated the extent to which this wonderful place would steal our hearts. We've been lucky to visit some of the world's great cities, but there's something - many things actually - about Cape Town that …

Quite a few people had recommended the red city sight seeing bus to us, so we decided to give it a go. We've never used one before - it's not really our thing - but it does make seeing the city in a short time very easy. That said the commentary was pretty poor, it didn't seem to really tell you anything very much or very interesting. I felt they …

Die N2 führt vorbei an den grössten und ärmsten Townships Südafrika's Khayelitsha und Nyanga in den Cape Flats. Dort sollen mehr als 2 Million Menschen leben. Zu sehen sind vorallem Hütten aus Blech, Holz und Pappe. Khayelitsha entstand, nachdem 1950 ein Verbot erlassen wurde, das Schwarzen verbietet, in südafrikanischen Städten zu wohnen. Nach dem …

We started from the bottom now we're here!! - our motto for today.
Today, we did something that if we had done a little more research, we probably wouldn't have done it. We thought hiking Table Mountain would involve a paved path, that just wound up the mountain at an steady incline… we were wrong. Hiking Table Mountain involved a small …

Well we have arrived, exhausted but here we are, and wow what an amazing
place. We are staying on the V&A waterfront at a beautiful hotel
with views of table mountain (when you can see it through the cloud) and
the harbour.

Decided as we are tired to have something to eat with Julie and a
friendly Seagulls and …

Cape Town

Angekommen!!! In einer riesen Stadt, dominiert von der weissen Bevoelkerung.
Und Nina und ich gehen erstmal in die Partymeile, wo unser Hostel auf uns wartet.

Am ersten Abend war dann so ne Art Kneipentour angesagt. Erstmal haben wir die Strasse etwas erkundet und uns dann eine Bar gesucht. Bald darauf ging es auch …

... and gave fragmented views of the city. We were gutted not to see any Dassie (over-sized guinea pigs native to Table Mountain and strangely the closest living relative to the elephant), apparently a combination of bad weather and threat of Black ...

... the coast towards the Cape of Good Hope. I stopped at Camps Bay where there were fantastic views of the 12 Apostles with Table Mountain towering above. Further on I came to the tolled Chapman's Peak Drive, for one of the most hair raising cliff ...

... some lunch, I turned around and headed up the 2,300ft Lion's Head, another peak overlooking the city, Camp's Bay and view of Table Mountain. Again truly fantastic views. I was going to stay up here for sunset and also to watch the full moon rise, ...

... moon rise over the city. A steep climb up and a very nice sunset. The bit I liked was the way the sun lit up Table Mountain with a red glow as it set. That place is mobbed with cops around sunset. I have to say I didn't feel very comfortable ...

... un-tanned, scared looking tourist meter, boy that thing went up fast. There's a hell of a lot to do in Cape Town, earlier we saw Table Mountain high above the harbour, but we're biding our time like all good travellers do, it's got to be clear ...

... basis! Both Sarah, myself and most of the travellers who we met in Australia felt this way. Cape Town is a beautiful city with Table Mountain and other mountains acting as a fabulous backdrop to a fantastic city. The market place in the centre of ...

... from Jo'burg trying to be a little too friendly with me, the boat is the perfect place to spend the afternoon, looking back at Table Mountain from the sea. The next day we walk down town to haggle in Cape Town's markets, with Heidi buying loads and me ...

... crafts to send home for our house. Then after lunch we picked up Daniel (safari friend) and drove the scenic drive up to Table Mountain. Now I have been scanning the cable car for the last 2 days and had been getting myself very worked up about going up ...

We oversleep and the thought of hitting up Table Mountain falls away due to timing, but breakfast in bed reinvigorates us and we decide to head to a winery that Christine had told us about where they serve chocolate with the tasting. The Waterford ...

... the most southerly point and then headed towards Cape Town. Cape Town has a beautiful setting at the foot of the stunning Table Mountain. It has a completely different feel than other cities and towns in South Africa. You could almost be anywhere in the ...
