Jour 1
Arrival at Gariep Dam
16 décembre 2022, Afrique du Sud ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
We arrived at Gariep Dam after an approximately 6 and a half hour drive. We swam most of the afternoon at the resorts swimming pool. Wanted to murder other parents naughty kids... but well, we couldn't. We had a race to finish 'braaing' or barbecuing, as others would say, before it started raining. So... we ate in our tiny tent because we just JUST finished in time. Then cue the anxiety of us getting wet in the tent by the rain. Girlfriend had to take me on a walk (in the rain which I somehow didn't mind). Tried to sleep, but once again, kids were screaming and playing close to our tent.En savoir plus

Jour 2
Last stretch to Cape Town
17 décembre 2022, Afrique du Sud ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
We left a little bit later the next day at 4 am for the last stretch, which totaled to about 9 and a half hour drive. We stopped about 2 hours out of the Cape to have lunch with my dad in Touwsrivier, where he had been staying on his plot to do some work. Then, I drove through the beautiful mountain ranges and through the Huguenot tunnel. We then got to CT at about 2 pm, relaxed a bit with my stepmother and brother. Then I went to my high school best friends 21st birthday. We were exhausted, to say the least. (Got a new phone the next day, so I don't have pictures of this day on this phone).En savoir plus

Jour 4
Simon's Town
19 décembre 2022, Afrique du Sud ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
We made a trip to Simon's Town where we walked what felt like miles along the main road. We passed many interesting attractions like the Just Nuisance statue, a dog that served the navy. As well as, a beautiful lookout of the Harbour, gigantic anchors, a small naval fort, a secret naval offices, and beautiful old buildings. We made it to Builders Beach where we spent a long time pretty much staring at penguins who were staring at us. Then made our way back to the Harbour for a drink, and lastly had lunch in Kalk Bay at the famous Kalkies, and ate fish and chips before going home. At Kalkbay we found a seal on the Harbour, which allowed us to stand unnaturally close and not caring. They became so tamed with all the tourists, but I wouldn't suggest trying to touch them.En savoir plus

Jour 5
Seal Snorkeling
20 décembre 2022, Afrique du Sud ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
It was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had the opportunity of taking. We joined a group of people at the Animal Ocean Seal Snorkeling place. We got given wetsuits and other equipment, received a briefing, and loaded into a car and made our way to Hout Bay Harbor. There, we got into a small boat and traveled to Seal Island (or formally called Duiker Island). A small island is inhabited by hundreds of seals and surrounded by a kelp forest, which keeps sharks and other predators away. We put on the rest of our snorkeling gear and jumped into the ice cold Ocean. From the moment we first placed our head under the water, we were greeted by a few seals swimming around. The curiosity of these creatures allowed them to come up and close to us. They swam, they played, they showed off for us. The great thing about the company we went snorkeling with is that they ensure that nothing happens to the environment the seals live in to ensure their safety. It was incredible and definitely a mind-blowing experience that I will carry with me forever.En savoir plus

Jour 7
Castle of Good Hope
22 décembre 2022, Afrique du Sud ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Today, we took a trip to the castle situated in Cape Town central, where SA, as we know it all began. "In 1652, the Dutch East India Company (DEIC) settled on the shores of Table Bay to establish a refreshment base for ships en route from Europe to East Asia and to maintain its monopoly over the Spice Trade. Built by the DEIC between 1666 and 1679, the Castle of Good Hope is the oldest existing colonial building in South Africa. It replaced an older fort called the Fort de Goede Hoop which was constructed from clay and timber and built by Jan van Riebeeck, the first Commander of the Cape," (Castle of Good Hope, 2021). After visiting the castle, we bought a cupcake at the famous Charly's Bakery.En savoir plus

Jour 12
World of Birds, Hout Bay
27 décembre 2022, Afrique du Sud ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
We took my niece to World of Birds for the day. We saw many many Birds, monkeys, alpacas, penguins, tortoises, and many other animals. We took a tour in the monkey cage where we sat down and allowed small squirrel monkeys to walk all over us, where one took a dump on my leg which was not fun at all. We then went to Hout Bay harbor to Fish on the Rocks for lunch.En savoir plus
