Victoria & Alfred Waterfront Cape Town

After a fabulous breakfast at the Coachman we had another stunning, if slightly cloudy and wet, drive to Cape Town.

As with so many cities the outskirts of Cape Town go on and on - including vast expanses of shacks, quite contradictory to the fairly European feeling towns we have been in. When you finally get the the city proper you really …

By day fourteen, the routine was pretty familiar: wake up early, shower, eat some can't-get-this-in-Istanbul oatmeal, pack up the car, and move on out. We were rather hesitant to leave Franschhoek and our cozy little cottage behind, but we knew that Cape Town was deserving of at least two full days, so we had to be moving on.

Today was amazing! We started off the morning with a wonderful breakfast in the restaurant in our hotel. (Yes, there are pictures.) We noticed that South Africans don't really do pancakes and waffles for breakfast...hmmm. We left the hotel around 10, even though we were scheduled to leave at 9:30 and headed towards the University of the Western …

Dnes bol velmi lenivy den a tak sme sa z domu dostali az okolo 11:00. Vybrali sme sa cez Chapman's Peak a Camp's Bay do Kapskeho mesta. Ked sme tam prisli, Esterka uz spala, tak sme ju len prelozili do kociara a isli sa na jest do restauracie v ktorej sme boli uz aspon 3 krat.
Dnes tam mali casnici nejaku dusnu atmosferu. Asi sa vsetci pohadali …

And so began our next adventure... We arrived in Johannesburg very tired after an 8 hour flight and 5 hour time difference, caught the first flight out to Cape Town and then pretty much slept the rest of the day.

Our first visit in Cape Town was to Robben Island, a very moving experience. Robben Island is a flat barren island that used to …

Stage 1... Cape Town, the first leg of our World Discovery with no limits. Bright eyed and bushy tailed Sarah & I arrived early Sunday morning with a bank account full of cash and excitement running through our veins. We literally ran out of the airport only to be introduced to a cold, rainy Sunday morning. But that did no jar our enthusiasm, …

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! …

Heute war ein ganz ruhiger und entspannter Sonntag. Wir haben es langsam angehen lassen, nachmittags sind wir in die Stadt rein zur Waterfront, eine bekannte Attraktion von Kapstadt. Da waren wir erstmal im Two Oceans Aquarium. War irgendwie lustig, weil viele der Fische da hatten wir ja noch vor paar Tagen selbst im Indischen Ozean gesehen. Es gab …
