One week in South Africa

Yeah, I got this opportunity and here I am in South Africa, precisely in Cape Town where I will stay for more 4 days. After that I will go to Johannesburg and back to Brazil.

Cape Town is really beautiful, I have already visited some of the most famous turistic spots like Cape Point, Table Mountain, Waterfront and a lot of other places in downtown. Tomorrow I will go for a safari, but I will still keep wearing my Firefox t-shirt. However I have to say, Cape Point (Cape of Good Hope) and The Table Mountain have already payed my trip to South Africa, amazing views.

The Cape of Good Hope (Afrikaans: Kaap die Goeie Hoop, Dutch: Kaap de Goede Hoop, Portuguese: Cabo da Boa Esperança) is a rocky headland on the Atlantic coast of South Africa. .... it is at the Cape of Good Hope that the persistent southerly extension of the African coast relents for the first time anywhere south of the equator and so the rounding of the Cape of Good Hope in 1498 was a major psychological and geographic milestone in the attempts by the Portuguese to establish a sea route to the Far East.

The Cape of Good Hope is the legendary home of The Flying Dutchman. Crewed by tormented and damned ghostly sailors, it is doomed forever to beat its way through the adjacent waters without ever succeeding in rounding the headland.

I will try to update the blog daily as I found an open wifi here. Otherwise I won´t pay because I cannot afford to pay the hotel´s 10 dollars for 20 minutes of access.

Baie dankie (Thank you very much in Afrikaans)

Did you get a chance to visit the plethora of shanty towns? Did you visit table mountain at night as well? That's truly an experience. There are patches of darkness in the array of lights, that's the townships that are without power.

Baie welkom by Suid Afrika!

I have been living in Cape Town for 5 years now (after moving down from Jo'burg when I finished school). It is by far the best place on earth live and the creativity here is next to nothing... I hope you enjoy your holiday and if you read this while you are still in Cape Town, go to the Extreme Hotel to see some really quirky ideas :)

Geniet jou vakansie :)
