Cape Town

Tuesday Jan 26. Today is my penultimate day in SA. Soon i will be truely travelling on my own. A very daunting feeling, so I'll try not think about it.

We took the coastal route into Cape Town from Hermanus. I was given the front seat to soak in the gorgeous view.




This was taken on the layby on the scenic route into Cape Town. The roads were very bendy because we were driving around mountains. I almost got motion sickness.




We went up Table Mountain by cable car. We were initially going to hike it but we were pressed for time. It would have taken 3 hrs for the hike.

We were lucky that it was open today and the temperature was very pleasent and I didn't even need my fleece which was good cos I forgot it in the car anyway.

Then we checked out the market and eventually went for a late sushi lunch followed by a walk in the water front. Meanwhile, I still needed to find a place to sleep for the night because the airport hotel messed up my booking and by the time I found out, they were already fully booked. Long story short, I needed to find a place quick. I couldn't find the Internet cafe but found the iStore instead so used their computers to find a hostel. We went there and as soon as I inspected the room, I was ready to leave.

Evenually I went back to the place that we found earlier and I checked in there. Andre and co was off to Stellenbosch so we all hugged and said our goodbyes quickly. I was feeling a bit sad and had to leave quickly before I get all emotional.

My first night alone in a strange town. I havent been alone in a while. OMG, what have I gotten myself into?!?

    Oh, by the way, mind if I borrow your purple Nalgene bottle till you're back (or at least till I get another one?!)
