We visited Capetown in South Africa. We rented out a car and drove our way to the hotel. On our way we saw that the climate was clear around Table Mountain so we immediately took tour. I understand that due the weather conditions the trip up gets cancelled on adhoc basis. Hence we immediately took this trip after check in to the hotel at V and A Waterfront. We too the Cable car to reach the top. We had amazing views of the Atlantic from the top and also one could as well feel the clouds kissing us. The next day we started our long trip towards Cape Point. The first stop was at Kaka bay which is pictured in lot of Bollywood movies for all its coloured rooms. Post this we visited Boulders beach for Penguins. I understand this is a rare species which is found on the land and water. After spending the time here, we drove towards Cape point to see the intersection of Indian and Atlantic. We took pictures of this point and the lighthouse. I had seen views of this location on TV during Cricket matches at Cape Point and to be there at the same time was indeed a good feeling. Post Cape point we drove a very short distance to reach Cape of Good Hope the south western point. There is not much here after from the geographical importance. On our way back we visited the Ostrich farm and got up close with them. We also collect an Ostrich egg made lamp as a souvenir. Later on reached home and took the break for the day.
The next day was reserved for Stellenbosch the vineyard. It is roughly around 60 kms from Cape Point. We drove across various vineyards and finally reached Stellenbosch. We visited the Cheetah Outreach where few Cheetahs are managed and one gets opportunity to go close to them and even take pictures along with them. The smaller the Cheetah, more the fee for the visit and picture :). We also tasted wine at Spiers and brought a bottle for ourselves. Later on in the day we drove back to Cape Point and visited the Green Market which is an outdoor African Market selling all sort of Curios. We brought quite a few souvenirs including an African themed bed sheet from this place. We also took some time out at V and A Mall to buy a small fine cut Diamond from the Diamond mining country :).
