Exploring Cape Town Continues...

This weekend has been absolutely phenomenal. We visited all over the city of Cape Town from the low point of Boulder Beach, to the farthest point of the African continent, and lastly to the very top of Table Mountain; we got to see it all. I took many pictures, totaling in the 500s actually. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. These pictures, however, cannot even begin to explain the pure beauty that we got to experience this weekend. The views were absolutely remarkable but they can't even be put into words! So here they are:

Touring the Peninsula:




We had the pleasure of getting a private tour of the Cape Town Peninsula. Our tour guide, the one and only Steve; owner of the Boogey Bus. The Boogey Bus is our mode of transportation while here in South Africa. It was so interesting to go to Hout Bay and look out onto the open ocean. We enjoyed lunch at the Boulder's Beach cafe and got to meet some penguins as well.

Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope:


Our peninsula tour was half over but we finally reached the most anticipated event! We finally got to climb to the most southern point of the African continent. Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope is where the Atlantic and Indian Ocean meet and we had the distinct pleasure of getting to see it in person. It was absolutely phenomenal.

Table Mountain:



Our journey to the top of Table Mountain began at 10:30. We arrived at the top around 12:30. This two hour trek which was nearly a complete vertical climb was extremely exhausting. However, as we climbed farther and farther to the top, the view just kept getting more spectacular. We reached the top and what we found was completely unexpected. In fact, it can't even be put into words. It was like literally standing on top of the world. I am so honored I had the privilege of venturing to the top of one of the seven wonders of the natural world!
