Cape Town, there is none like you!

Can it be? A city with it all? My recent trip to Cape Town was memorable, to say the least. A cultural hub of unique South African history and art, every landmark is special in its own way. Take the Iziko South African Museum, for example, which is a national treasure for South Africans. Learn about the historical rock paintings, ancient artifacts and heroes who moved and shook South Africa. Learn about the dinosaurs that once walked where we do now and the glorious buck and lion that graced our grasslands. Marvel at the magnificence of the size of a whale by gazing at a real life carcass. It’s easy to spend a day there lost in history. Afterwards, I moved onto the Two Oceans Aquarium. Now, I’ve been to the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium, one- if not THE- largest aquariums in the world, but boy was I impressed by what I saw in Cape Town. The place is clean and friendly to those of all ages. Children were fascinated by the sea creatures, as was I! There were spots of interactivity for the little ones and chance to learn about our ever deadly act of ocean pollution. I gawked at the penguins that were too cute for words and stood amazed at how beautiful our world is. What a wonderful chance to see what lies in the depths of our oceans! Walking about the V&A Waterfront is a must! There are tons of restaurants to choose from. And as you enjoy your delicious dinner, you are accompanied by buskers showcasing the true talent of South Africans. And if you want to spend a day immersed in shopping, there is no better mall than the Canal Walk. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to go up Table Mountain as maintenance on the cable cars were being done at the time. But simply seeing this Wonder in the distance left me breathless. There are so many places I did not get to visit- Robben Island, Devil’s Peak and Signal Hill, and I didn’t get to try the numerous fun activities scattered around the city. But that’s only an excuse to go back! Cape Town, thanks for the hospitality and beauty. I’ll see you soon #trip #instatravel #capetown #capetownsouthafrica #southafrica !
