Cape Town - I Already Love You + A Bonus Picture From A Sh**thole Country

in #travel7 years ago

I’ve been in Cape Town for two days, but I’m head over heals about this place. The food, he nature and the people seems like my cup of tea!

I saw Table Mountain from my hotel room!

Roof top pool at the hotel! We stayed at a hotel the first night because our Airbnb wasn’t available until the second day of our stay. The Airbnb is awesome!

The food in this city.... WOW! It’s so good and so cheap compard to Norway! The only city I’ve visited that can compare to the food in this city i Melbourne!

This cracked me up! I walked past a store called Exclusive Books and I saw this. So funny!

I’m here for two week to work and enjoy life. The two friends that I’ve rented the Airbnb with also work remote so I’m sure we all can inspire and help each other! I’m stoked!

Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
My contribution in your post consists of listing the benefits and advantages of travelling.

Here are below some benefits of travelling, during your travel:

  • you learn more about other cultures
  • you taste other food
  • you become more tolerant
  • you acquire useful knowledge
  • you become more independent
  • you learn other languages.
  • more & more.

Hi! Thank you for your great reply!

I completely agree, and I firmly believe that traveling is the only thing you can buy for money that will actuallty make you richer!

The pictures of the clouds spilling over the mountains is epic! The whole place looks like a traditional shit hole that I would love to visit!

It's such a beautiful mountain. I can't wait to get to the top of it.
HAHAHHA! I know, it's pretty great. Have you been to Africa before?

That cocktail looks amazing! Do you think they could garnish mine with a bone?

Also.. if you think Melbourne is good, you should come to Perth!

HAHAH! It's cool to meet a dog here! I've never been to Perth. Is the food great there?

Is the food great there?

No bones about it!

You'll find Australian food tends to be pretty light and fresh, and relatively sophisticated. The popularity of competitive cooking shows since the early 2000s, in a country that fairly recently had only 5 TV channels, has pushed the base standard to a pretty high level.

Or so my human tells me - he travels and eats out, I just stay at home eating kibble, meat and bones.

Plus it rains a lot less in Perth than it does in Melbourne. Rain means less walkies :\

Nice pictures enjoy your weekend

Thank you! I hope you have a good Sunday.

Beautiful place and i'm gratified you could share this with all of us, lol the headline really got me

Hehehe, I just had to do that headline. :p It's pretty cool here, you should visit!

I believe there are other beautiful places in Africa

I believe so too, because I’ve been to several Africa countries. But what is your point? :)

Wow. Febulous place.

Yes, you should visit!!

yeah definetly

Yes, you should definitely make it happen! You will not regret it.

You definitely caught my attension with the headline. Now I see what the "Sh**thole Country" is LOL. Enjoy your life there as much as possible, it really looks great :)

Ha ha. It’s what Donald Trump called them. I willc it’s absokutkey gorgeous here.

Wow,what a view! 🏔 🙌 Looks like you're gonna have a wonderful stay! 😊

Thanks! 😍 I hope it will be as great as the start! Do you like to travel too?

I am sure it will! <3 I do, when ever I get the chance! :) I am hoping that this year will bring opportunities to travel further than I have before though as I've only been traveling withing Europe. :) I have a very close friend whos going to Tasmania to study and work and would love to be able to visit her there! :) <3

Ha!

I was offended for the South Africans until I saw the book 😜

Great view of The mountain with the clouds rolling off the table. I'm looking at the hills in the north of Reunion and see darker clouds hovering!

HAHAH! Thank God you read the whole thing then...

Yes, it's a super cool place. How is Reunion treating you??

Yes just reading the title makes your blog sound offensive! 😂

Honestly, not so great thus far. The reason for coming (work) has not gone as planned, so we are looking at alternative options.

I'll write a blog soon when I can muster the strength to do so on the flipping phone! Damn insecure network - who offers those as the only option these days?!

@susanne
Welcome to South Africa, glad you enjoying your stay, love your post, wishing you a blessed, exciting and enjoyable stay further.

stay blessed.
big:Love from everyone in South Africa :-)

Thank you so much! I absolutely love it here, and I'm already thinking about coming back down in March.
Where in SA do you live?

Hey Susanne, I used to live in Cape town and now have moved to KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, another part of SA that may be good to explore, has different sites and interesting places that would be nice for you to explore.

safe travels

I usually prefer airbnb, but rooftop pool was a nice touch I must admit

We are staying at an Airbnb, but we had to spend the first night in a hotel, because the house was occupied by other guests. We were super happy with both of them.

Nice place and beautiful view :D

The shots of the mountain are great! the way the clouds are slowly falling over the edge is beautiful to look at. Glad you are enjoying your time in Cape Town, one day I will have to swing by there.

Ah, you should! It's so cool here. And the food is amazing, I promise.

I am also a Cape Town lover, this city is incredible, I especially like the road from Sea Point to Hout Bay, crossing Clifton, Camps Bay ... Hiking to the top of Lion's Head before the sunset is a very nice thing for me. And finaly, one on my favorite in summer time is the concerts in the botanic garden. Enjoy your time in Cape Town.

Sounds really, really nice. Thank you for sharing your advice. I'll make sure to check it out. Clifton and Camps Bay is on my list already. And we've thought about checking out the concerts. Thank you so much!!

Hi @Susanne,
Oh, the irony and humor in the book store. Carefully selected book titles as well. ;)
Would love to do a time-lapse movie of the clouds hanging around Table mountain though...
Enjoy your trip!
Cheers, Erlend

Yup, I love it! That's really my sense of humor. Oh, I should've done that! We've moved from this hotel over to an epic Airbnb now.
Thank you so much!!

Cape town is a lovely place, and my experience of the mother city was my first sweetheart. Those memories are locked vividly in front of me as I type this, The first time I went there after that again was last year in May. I felt a little sick, and I missed her terribly that day.

Thankfully it went away. Last year I was three hours away from the mother city. I volunteered at a lifestyle and wellness center that was situated on a farm in the little karoo and I was taught how to treat lifestyle diseases with a whole food plant based diet and natural and holistic medicine.

Right now my soul is beaming, This kind of happiness is priceless. Your post prompted all of this, thank you.

Hi there. Soudns like you had a cool experience! And it's good that you got well!

I love this place. I love the food, the people and the music. The sun is not too bad either, as it's winter where I live in Norway right now.

I want to visit that shithole too. Looks better than here.

It's soooo good here!

For en fin tilværelse! Ute på eventyr og kunne jobbe samtidig høres perfekt ut!

Ja, jeg kan ikke klage på dette livet.

Nei, det kan du ikke! :)

A little bit of everything in this post! Views. Hotels. Food. Drink. Humor.

Table Mountain is absolutely phenomenal! Wow!

The book display is hysterical. What a fantastic piece of merchandising!

Ok. What is that drink? So creative, the use of ice that way. And that's a stalk of what in there??

Just like my profile here. HAHA! A little bit of everything.
Yes, I can't wait to get to the top of it!
Yes, I laughed my ass off.
Lemon grass margarita! :p

Awesome! Looking forward to the pix! Have fun!

These photos are really great. Especially clouds and mountains. Maybe they're dancing. This is great. It's so nice of you to follow me. I hope that goes into my profile. :)
I resteemed to you lady :)

the view is very nice :)

Thank you for sharing with us your extraordinary moments, enjoy! Cape Town is a city of relaxation and discovery in South Africa.

A Mediterranean climate, sandy beaches lined with palm trees, historical sites and cultural treasures to discover, a rich and friendly gastronomy in the image of its population ...

Best Regards @Redouanemez

Omg! The hotel sreams luxury...i love it!
