Hey everyone!
I landed safely in Cape Town 9 days ago after a 12 hour uneventful flight! The day I arrived was very sunny and I quickly settled in to travelling mode... WOW it's been a busy 9 days! It has been so much fun and I've met so many great people along the way. Cape Town is a beautiful city and there is so much to do here. The weather has been ok, it's just coming into their winter, so we have had a few days of sunshine and some cloudy days. I have managed to fit everything in that I wanted to in Cape Town, my photos tell the story themselves! I didn't have enough time to see much of the Garden Route so I may come back to do that another time. The hostels I have stayed in have been fab and everyone has been really friendly and helpful. Even though I came here on my own I don't feel alone… I get the feeling the back-packers world is going to be a good one ;-). I'm not scared, just excited now! The shark cage diving was amazing! That has always been one of my dreams (crazy i know) and I'm so happy I finally had the opportunity to do it. The bungy jump was a little unexpected! Something I was not planning on doing at all but got convinced by a guy on my bus haha... it's a long story, but actually turned out to be one of the best things I've done in my life. I was smiling for about 3 days afterwards! They are the highlights but I have done loads of other cool stuff and have really enjoyed my experience here.
Today was a good day to write my first blog. I am starting my overland tour tomorrow at 9am and will be heading north towards the Orange River which is at the South African- Namibian border. I met my tour group and crew today and they seem like a good bunch. I have booked myself into a single room tonight for my last bit of comfort! I am looking forward to treking through jungles, dancing on beaches and diving through coral reefs, haha. All i can say is I'm looking after myself and squeezing all the juice out of it!
Thank you for all your kind messages, it really is good to hear from you. Hopefully I will get more time from now to update my blog and keep you posted on my adventures!
Bye for now.....
