Cape Town was AMAZING! I could live there for sure. Half an hour after our plane touched down we went up to Table Mountain and saw the Cape from a bird's eye view. Wine tours (amazing) and a trip to Boulder's Beach (with African penguins!) and Cape Point (the south western tip of Africa) with friends who were studying at UCT, Robben Island and more. What a trip! It was great to have a holiday in CT with friends. The friends from Cape Town showed us some of the best spots and made the trip really special. On Robben Island we saw Nelson Mandela's cell and had a tour by an ex-political prisoner. It's crazy to think that some of my friends’ parents were even imprisoned there.

Cape Town has a different pulse than Durban, and I loved it. Right on the ocean, you can see the Mountain from everywhere. As we flew out with the sunset to our backs a week later, I kept thinking, “I've gotta come back” because a week was not long enough!
