Hop on a Plane with Sygryd: The Peninsula and Cape of Good Hope

We spent our next day touring the Cape Peninsula.

First stop was Hout Bay, a seaside village located a few minutes away from the central business district of Cape Town.

That's Hout Bay Harbour. I have no idea what they feed their dogs, this one looks like a bear!!! haha

Tourists who visit Hout Bay also get to treat themselves to a little souvenir shopping.

Everyone headed straight to the stall selling Ostrich Eggs. Each Ostrich Egg is beautifully hand painted with images that would best represent South Africa.

Stalls and booths selling small trinkets, accessories and all types of wooden figurines may also be seen right beside the harbour.

It was a very windy day, and I wasn't prepared for the weather.

There I am in my sun dress and sandals while everyone else was bundled up in layers and layers of clothing (I borrowed the jacket from my mom). I looked so cold and out of place that our guide asked me if I would want him to get me a pair of pants. Haha

The sun started shining again as we made our way to Cape of Good Hope. We thought we saw a whale as the car passed by the ocean, so we decided to stop for a few minutes to take some photos and catch some sun.

And then the day just started to get colder and colder. OH NO!!!

Cape of Good Hope is said to be the south-western tip of the African Continent.

We decided to have lunch first before proceeding with the rest of our Cape of Good Hope tour.

The prawns in South Africa are the freshest, juiciest and sweetest tasting prawns that I've

ever tried. During our 7-day stay in Cape Town, I would always check the menu for prawns and order it immediately. I was never disappointed!

That's Dane. He's a taxi driver in South Africa, and he volunteered to tour our entire group for one whole week. He's AMAZING!!! He made sure that everyone's sightseeing request was fulfilled, AND he made sure that we ate at the restaurants that are favored by the locals.
