Arriving in Cape Town

Well I guess this is where it all begins at the departure lounge at the airport, rucksack packed (and very light if i say so myself haha) and ready to leave the snow behind... for sunshine and adventures in South Africa, first stop Cape Town.


After arriving at my hostel St Johns Waterfront...




The lounge and pool

Then I decided to head to the Victoria and Albert Waterfront and wow it was worth the 10 minute walk from the hostel where I am am staying. It's definitely worth the morning walk as there are stunning views and lots to see...
 the waterfront with table mountain as the backdrop near the harbour...stunning!

Celebrating the Olympics 2012 success...although though it did make me feel very small!!!!

There is some stunning african art to be found on the waterfront which is linked to the African Port you see below...


There is some beautiful fresh organic food at the market...


Overlooking the Clock Tower and Nelson Mandela Gateway where the museum is based and boats departs for Robben Island...

and needless to say I cannot stop smiling at the moment am looking forward to seeing what else cape town has to offer!!!!! :-)
