| Taylor explores at a stop on the way to Cape Point |
Finally being in
Cape Town is absolutely unreal. Getting off the plane and finally going to the
house was a huge wake up call. I have been looking forward to this for so long
that finally being here took a little while to sink in. After I got over being
sick, exploring this beautiful place has been an adventure. I never try new
foods so all these exotic food places has definitely been an interesting
experience. Ethiopian, Portuguese and Indian were all insanely good and I am a
little mad at myself for not trying these foods sooner. I am super excited to
try more new foods.
Aside from food,
the places we have visited have all been amazing in appearance, culture and
history. Boulder's beach with the penguins was definitely a highlight because I
love penguins and didn't really know they even had any here before about 2
months ago. Cape Point was absolutely gorgeous however it was a little cloudy
that day so I definitely want to go back there. I totally need to go back to
two oceans because that food was too good and I definitely need to try more
items on the menu. Signal Hill was also an incredible experience because
overlooking the entire city was really awesome. I'm really into taking pictures
so beautiful views are my absolute favorite. I cannot wait to go hiking up
Table Mountain and lion's head. I definitely want to strap my go pro camera
onto myself while hiking because that will be an interesting adventure. Also,
the views at the top will definitely be worth the struggle I will indeed encounter
getting up there.
Robben Island and
the Waterfront I think may have been my favorite part so far. Robben Island was
so interesting and learning about the history from the tour guides who
experienced it first hand was completely enlightening. The waterfront is
gorgeous and there is so much to do. I cannot wait to go back. So far Cape Town
has been the ultimate adventure and I cannot wait to explore more in the next
few months!
