We made it - after a shitty flight from Lisbon to Cape Town via Frankfurt we finally made it to the city of Cape Town and into our Apartement in Vredehoek. As I´m going to blog a lot about our 3 months stay here I´m going to let you have my first Impressions although we´re very tired.
Since we arrived this morning we were met by friendly people only. The south african people are amazing and we love them already. Very friendly folks. Since we got a rental car for the whole stay we first went to pick up the car. It was my first ride on the left side since we left Australia more than 2 years ago. It was a bit weird again but I´m getting used to it very quickly.
It was only a 20 min ride to our first apartment where we will spend the first week. Check out that awesome place with one of the best views in Cape Town.
The building looks absolutely run down and we live on the 16th floor but the apartement is so nice and the view is amazing.
First I thought the view from the kitchen and living room is amazing as you can see Signal Hill, Lions Head, The Stadion, Harbour and so on...
But then I opened the blinds in the bedroom and the view from there on the Table Mountain is absolutely incredible. Makes me speechless and I can´t wait to wake up tomorrow morning.
After a bad flight with even worse meals we were craving for some good and healthy food which seems to be not hard to find here as there are dozens of amazing cafes and restaurants.
We had a great lunch with cold pressed juices a wrap and a salad plus two coffees at the end and paid around 20 Euro which is a pretty fair price I would say.
That helped us a lot to feel better and gave us new energy to shop some essential groceries. That´s it for now, I´m very tired and need a good sleep.
Soon there will be lots of photos and travel blogs on here so make sure to not miss it. ;)

Glad you made it there. The apartment looks amazing and so do the views! Enjoy :)
Thanks. We´re very happy that everything went so smooth and people are so friendly. So far one of the most warmest welcomes we experienced.
What great first impressions, I missed your post, as I was off to Gibraltar for a couple of days.
The view on the mountain is stunning. Great place for the first week.
I will be following your adventures closely 😊
Thank you. Yes, I wasn´t active on here the last days and won´t be much in the coming 3 weeks. After we get back to Cape Town I will bombard you guys with stories and photos. ;)
Hope you had a great time in Gibraltar
Looking forward to it.You are welcome @betterthanhome, I can imagine… enjoy those weeks.
I wasn’t here either the last days. We had an amazingly great time in Gib, got married there last Friday 🥳😁
That building is actually round, so cool! You are very lucky to have this view if you are staying there for three months.
Yes, it´s round which makes the apartements have a funny shape as well. We only stay in here for 1 week and then we´re going on a road trip to the garden route
I see that your choices in your destinations are blue sky and sunshine. We'll never see you in Quebec 😀
Great appart with this view. Enjoy.
Always :) But on the other hand cape town is famous for strong winds and we experienced it last night on the 16th floor. pretty loud :)
Glad you made it. Have an amazing time there.
Thank you so much. we will
Thanks @ackhoo
