Corner Strand & Bree Street, Cape Town, 8001 Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa, 8001, 27-21-423-5116
After 26 hours' train ride (plus 2 hours' delay), I finally arrived at South Africa's "Mother City" around the dinner time om April 23rd, Monday. More than 3 days have passed since I left Chicago on April 20th noon! The hotel G.A.P. arranged for us "Tulip Inn" is not really too far from Cape Town's main train station, so I decided to just walk to my hotel. It was getting darker outside, but there were still a few people walking in the streets along the way. However, since South Africa has suc...
Cape Town, South Africa whk2006This is not my first time in Cape Town. However, <a href=http://travel.saricie.com/SouthAfr ica2000/gallery_home. htm>my last trip to South Africa</a> was with a Taiwanese tour group, in which everything is pre-arranged and I ended up having very little time to do things I wanted to do and seeing sights I wanted. This time, before the G.A.P. overland trip starts, I finally have my own time with Cape Town (but not much, since the G.A.P. tour will leave Cape Town tomorrow morning). ...

... and spunk for hours.<br><br>They laugh more than most Westerners I know. <br><br>I hope the pictures I have taken will help capture this experience for your benefit.<br><br>On Sunday, I went to Jubilee, which was wonderful! It’s so refreshing to be in a safe place where I can let my guard down a bit after watching my back constantly during the week. I can smile and say, “Hello” to the male desk attendant without avoiding eye ...
Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa horvathck1... we met some playful baboon and also saw several ostrich. The drive back along the mountain passes overlooking the ocean was very scenic. On Monday, Leah, Patrick, Dave and I attempted to go up Table moutain but it was too cloudy and cold, instead we made our way to Camps Bay for a coffee and then on to Houts Bay for fresh fish and chips. In the afternoon Dave and I drove to the Waterfront and took a tour from there ...
Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa dave_carol... Jo'burg nightclub and the Dubliner. Highlights of the night in downtown: no cover for ladies at Jo'burg, multiple springbok shots, met/ danced with Moses' pastor, pushed a large white South African who was taking off his shirt and doing one-handed push ups. Saturday 12 July This morning was checkout from the Breakwater lodge. Finally! I moved into a "really cozy house" (Ken) on Alma Rd with Ken, he's our student orientation leader studying ...
Cape Town, South Africa ckaseHallo allemaal, dag 2 in Cape Town, of beter in the Observatory op de kaart een miniscuul verschil en voor de Afrikaners onder ons 'naast de deur' maar voor ons vergelijkbaar met de afstand Maaseik-Genk. De accomodatie is oké, dat is te zeggen het is "proper" (soms :-)) en op een goede afstand van alles. We hebben hier een tweepersoonskamer in een huis met nog andere mensen. Gisteravond zijn ze ons aan de luchthaven komen ophalen vanuit dit Guesthouse wat wel zo handig was ...
Cape Town, South Africa atelen... ages she surfaced and was fine but it shook us all up. After that we decided not to flip and just enjoyed the levels 1-3 rapid which are a lot more tame. The rest of our time at Victoria Falls was spent wandering round the Falls which is an amazing sight. There are rainbows everywhere and the spray is so high you can see it for miles around. As you walk across the perfectly good bridge between Zambia and Zimbabwe you see the falls and the Lower ...
Cape Town, South Africa kristinafowler... so I literally ended up shopping at the mall till 6pm and then took a really long nap. At about `10pm we went to dinner at a restarauant called Mama Africa's which is a very traditional African restaurant. I ordered a steak called Kudu, which is a type of antelope. It was sooooo good. We ordered some really crazy drinks like a Flaming Ox Wagon and an African Dream, which was the best tasting drink I've ever had. That night Long Street was completely shut down for a ...
Cape Town, South Africa navyblue618... believe it, they made us cycle for about 10km back to the entrance of the National Park. All this exercise can't be good for you! Melinda didn't tell me all this walking and biking were part of this trip. She has now informed me that there is no cable car to the top of Kilimanjaro!!!!! Good day out rounded off with a nice dinner and beers at Rafikis Bar in Cape Town. Still been able to find Heineken everywhere we go, which is great! hope the lucky streak continues.
Cape Town, South Africa bermudapaul... contained within. It was a bit of fun and some of the wine wasn't bad. The next stop was the tour dud. It was some historic town for us to just have a look around. We soon finished up there and moved on to the final part of the tour. There were a large number of penguins which nested on the beach. We went down and they had built a big walkway around the area so that you could get close to the penguins without disturbing them. One or two of them went wandering though and our ...
