Before my time at Cheetah Experience (which I'll tell you all about in another post), I spent ten days in beautiful Cape Town and the surrounding wine regions! I went on a ton of adventures and saw some amazing things. I can't wait to be back o
I can't remember if this was in Paarl or Stellenbosch (another wine region), but the views were incredible. It literally did not feel real being there. To be honest, it reminded me of Italy or France, because I definitely wasn't expecting South
I made my friend stop on the side of the road to take some photos. I think it's obvious why! 
This is one of my favourite views ever. The whole scene felt like a fairytale.
A few days after I had settled in and conquered my jet lag, my friend took me to Table Mountain. This was at the top of my list of things to do. There are a ton of different paths (from easy to difficult) you can take to climb up, or you can opt for
It took me roughly two hours to get to the top (I was pretty out of shape) and I wanted to die at least seven different times, but it was SO worth my legs feeling like jelly for the next few days. I know I keep talking about the views, but they
Sitting next to Table Mountain is Lion's Head, which you can also hike up or take the gondola. I didn't get to do this while I was there, but I've heard that watching the sunrise/sunset from this peak is magical. Definitely on my list of things to
After our hike up Table Mountain, we had lunch with this view of the beach! I love how the mountains sort of encircle the city and close it off from everything else. It was super windy and the water was way too cold to swim in, but I wasn't complain
Something that's been on my bucket list forever has been going cage diving with sharks. I've loved sharks since I had to do a project on them in the third grade, so when I found out this was something I could do, I jumped at the opportunity! 
We spent the day out on a boat in the middle of the water and we took turns in the cage in groups. We were supplied with goggles and a snorkel and lowered into the water up to our necks. A man on the uppermost deck of the boat was throwing out
Something everyone knows about me is how much I love animals. When I found out about Boulders Beach and that I could visit the penguins living there, I jumped at the opportunity!  People used to be able to walk side by side with the penguins,
It's a really great way to view these cute little guys and you can stay for as long or as little as you like. There are SO many of them! And they love to take dips in the ocean and stand and dry off in the sun. There's another side of the beach acc
We took the longer, more scenic route back to Cape Town, driving on narrow roads carved into the side of the mountain. One stop we made was at Chapman's Peak, looking over the beautiful Hout Bay. 
On my last night in Cape Town, my friends and I went to Grand Cafe and Beach, a beautiful restaurant on the beach with stunning views. I honestly don't remember anything about the food, but the vibe and people were awesome! Not to mention that I wat
