HELLO CAPE
TOWN… again. After the tiresome 17 hours of travel I was reminded of the beauty
that made me fall in love with South Africa all over again. Just the sight of
Table Mountain alone was enough to put my body in a euphoric frenzy reinforcing
my excitement for my journey to begin. First stop, home. As we pulled up to the house located in
Rondebosch I was amazed that the beautiful place in front of me would be home
for the next 3 ½ months. The House is
amazing including a pool and pool house with a view of Table Mountain as well.
The first morning here, me and a few girls decided to go for a run around the
commons, a park located near our house, and unexpectedly joined a local 5k park
run all with the luxury of looking at Table Mountain as we ran. Safe to say the
view AND weather will make working out a lot easier.
The rest of
the day involved getting acclimated to our new surroundings by exploring
Rondebosch and going to the local grocery store for the first time of
many. After a great Thai meal and some
much needed sleep the next day we ventured out around the Penninsula and hit
some major spots such as Camps Bay, Hout Bay, Cape Point, and Boulders Beach.
Although I’ve been to many of these places on my previous trip to Cape Town, I
had new adventures with amazing new people. In Hout Bay I got to hand feed a
seal and in Boulder’s Beach, my internship location as well, I got up close and
personal with some South African Penguins.
Being around the penguins was definitely my favorite part of the day and
got me even more excited for my internship there. I don’t know exactly what
I’ll be doing there yet but with a view of the ocean at a park for penguins, I
think I’ll be enjoying myself very much.
