    Boulders Beach-Cape Point, the roadtrip

    January 24 in South Africa ⋅ 🌬 18 °C

    So, Reyno, our new friend from last night, didn’t disappoint and obviously forgot that he promised to take us around the peninsula (which is totally understandable considering the amount of alcohol consumed by them last night haha), so we had to improvise, no problem! 😂 We started off with a beautiful breakfast at a beautiful place and rebooted our plan for the day. ✨ Since ubers are the most common form of transportation here and super cheap, we decided to head to Boulders Beach anyway to find some cute penguins - and we did, not one or two, but quite a dozen, cute little things. 🤩🐧 Still hungry for adventure, we got another uber to take us to Cape Point to check out the most southwestern point of the world. When we got there our driver warned us that it’s very difficult to get an uber out there or impossible even so that it would be best if he waits for us and then takes us back to Cape Town. The price was a little too high (still reasonable though) so we decided to risk it anyway - of course. 😂 We got there super late and totally unprepared, we were in our beach clothes, super hungry, and the funicular wasn’t working so we thought we would have to walk up in the extreme wind. Lucky enough after stuffing ourselves with some sandwiches the funiculars started working again and we managed to arrange a minibus ride back to Cape Town with a driver who was there to replace the funicular taking people up and then, so he made easy money on us on his way home and we save 1000 rands, win-win I say! 🤩 The viewpoint was amazing except that we couldn’t spend more than 2 minutes up there without risking that we or our phones get blown off the cliff. 😅 Another day of spontaneous adventure: check ✅Read more
