Finally made it to Cape Town!! I’ve been to South Africa quite a few occasions, however touring to Cape Town simply by no means appeared to work out due to all the opposite issues we needed to do. My household family and friends went once they came visiting for our wedding ceremony in 2018 and I used to be jealous over the entire stunning images they took and views they noticed. We left on Monday April seventeenth within the night and stayed with Lyall’s cousin Michael who was a improbable host! Our first full day on the 18th, we went to Table Mountain to discover the scenic views that Cape Town is understood for. Also – an official new 7 surprise of nature! This was the world you waited in to get on the gondola to take you as much as the Mountain.
The gondola had the 360 rotation so that you had been capable of see each view as you went up. Hopefully you aren’t afraid of heights as a result of this was fairly the belief of cables.
Once up on the Mountain there was loads to discover. There had been areas that Calihan was climbing and loads of photograph ops! Everywhere you checked out a panoramic view so it was onerous to not take a thousand images. There is a price to go as much as Table Mountain and that’s paid for on the backside at a kiosk space.
Below is the doorway and exit space that had a present store as nicely incase you needed to choose up any souvenirs in your method out.
There had been additionally locations to seize a chunk to eat with extra of a fast service model. I loved that as a result of it makes it straightforward to be by yourself schedule and never really feel rushed if you’re hungry or wanted one thing to drink. They additionally served alcohol! I noticed fairly a number of folks with champagne.
We opted in for Chicken and Mushroom and Steak pies. Cal had a donut and chips as a result of he was on trip so his consuming habits had been out the window! We didn’t actually wrestle with discovering him issues to eat, it was simply that he solely needed bacon, rusks, chips and that was just about it your complete journey.
Once we had been achieved (we might have stayed up there till sunset it was so fairly) we ended up going again down from the mountain and drove to the water to eat at a cute restaurant for the reason that climate was so good. We had been extremely fortunate from what we’ve heard as generally the clouds are too low, or the climate is iffy. We had stunning climate!
There had been so many fishing boats docked and we additionally noticed our fair proportion of seals!
Can we simply take a second for this meals?! Highly advocate exploring the world alongside the coast to see the retailers and eating places. There was a spread! This was a Belgian restaurant referred to as Den Anker that we stopped at. Not pictured is one other milkshake ????
We went again to the home and relaxed after lunch and picked up prawns to have for dinner. We had been drained so we rested a bit, however then ended up going to the seashore lower than 5 minutes away and THIS was the view. We tried taking full benefit of the climate and Calihan was working with Lyall throughout this seashore. The water was freezing so I used to be shocked what number of occasions they went out and in!
That was a wrap on day one! We had been outdoors virtually all day so the recent air made us sleep properly. Is it too late to persuade Lyall to maneuver there?
