Half a month after returning from South Africa, the demonic wind at the Cape of Good Hope is still in my mind🌬️
Six days and five nights is not long, but the pit is quite solid. Avoid one get one 👇
🕳️ Let me complain about a few of the most wanted to talk about
Table Mountain Cable Car Whether you can see it or not, it depends on the sky
Don't schedule your schedule too hard as soon as the clouds come to a direct shutdown. The official website has real-time weather. Scroll before you leave. Go up on a sunny day and go to Signal Hill instead on a foggy day.
Don't be greedy for cheap when renting a car
It’s really not a mess to drive in the Cape Town suburbs at night, the navigation takes you to take shortcuts that may lead you into an area without street lights. Buy enough insurance and park without leaving anything in the seat.
The wind at the Cape of Good Hope is not a joke
The kind that can't stand still. Jackets must be brought, and hats preferably have cords, otherwise they will fly in seconds.
Do not use flash at Penguin Beach
The penguins in Boulders Beach are close to you, but the flash scares them. Walk the wooden canyon, do not climb the fence.
The plug is a South African-specific three round hole
Buy early for conversion heads, twice as expensive at airports. Voltage 230V, hair dryer do not plug hard.
Tips can't go away
It costs R5 to R10 for someone to watch the parking, 10% to 15% for a restaurant, and a few dollars for someone to wipe the windows at the gas station.
🗺️ How to walk in six days
Day 1 Land in Cape Town, take a rest at V&A Pier
Walk by the sea and watch the sunset on Table Mountain. Don't schedule too often if the time difference has not been adjusted.
Day 2 Table Hill + Signal Hill
The Table Mountain Cable Car spins up, and the top overlooks the whole city. In the afternoon, we went to Signal Hill to watch the sunset. The locals brought blankets for a picnic. The atmosphere was particularly good🌄
Day 3 Chapman Peak Highway + Cape of Good Hope + Penguin Beach
The Chapman Peak Highway has cliffs on one side and the sea on the other, with beautiful parking spots for photos. Walk up to the Cape of Good Hope Lighthouse, windy but worth it. In the afternoon, go to Boulders Beach to see penguins, rocking and walking is so cute🐧
Day 4 Stellenbosch Winery
Choose one or two wineries around Cape Town. Wine tasting with a cheese platter, sit in the vineyard and dazzle. The town of Franschuk is also on the way, the French style is very out-of-the-box.
Day 5 Hermanus whale watching
Southern right whales are visible from the shore when the season is right. It doesn't matter if it doesn't fit, walk the cliff trail and enjoy the sea view.
Day 6 Return to Cape Town, return
In the morning buy some Biltong jerky to take away and go to the airport.
🍖 No matter what you eat, you won't be fooled
Biltong is the South African version of beef jerky, the more chewy the more flavorful, available in supermarkets.
Bobotie is minced meat pie with yellow rice, slightly sweet with curry flavor, local home cooking.
Braai is a South African barbecue with a hefty amount of meat served with corn paste.
Cape Malay curry is sweet and served with pizza.
The cheese platter from the winery is not to be missed, which is very comfortable with Bai Chenan.
⚠️ A few sincere words
Don't show off your wealth when you go out during the day, and don't hold your phone in your hand and shake it. Try to take Uber at night and don't walk. Leave to the left when driving, give way to the right at the roundabout. There are people serving at the gas station. You need to be tipped. Sunscreen is applied to the fullest, UV rays are really harsh. Table Mountain is windy, thin jacket with you.
South Africa is not the kind of "holiday vacation" kind of place, but the scenery is wild and contrasting. Six days is actually only enough to play around Cape Town, don't be greedy, play slowly to be comfortable🌍
