Yesterday the tour has ended. Part of me is a little sad because that means my holiday is almost over, but another part is very happy too.
I'm so so sooooo happy I don't have to sleep in that tent anymore.
I know camping is for some the best way to spend a holiday, but to me it's a hassle.
Putting the tents up every evening and taking them back down every night, to me, is a waste of time.
Then finding stuff in your luggage is another thing. Or the mats to sleep on, not the most comfortable thing to do.
And then I haven't even mentioned the fact that we had a lot of rain on this tour.
The last day was a beautiful day though, sunny and warm. The last day we were going for two winetastings.
One was at Creation. I think I even saw this wine in the stores in Belgium.
It was delecious! It came with a cheese plate, but since I don't like cheese, I went for the charcuterie.
After the tasting there we drover to La Vierge, another winery, to have lunch.
You could overlook the winery, the view was spectacular! A little Michael Bubblé coming out of the speakers, nice breeze.
Life was good :)
After lunch we had another wine tasting but I preferred the wines from the previous winery.
We went to Hermanus where we were putting up our tents for the last time.
It was near the ocean again. I love the sound of the sea.
Around 6pm we were gonna go out for dinner.
As we did the previous night.
The night before it was our tour leader's bday, so be got balloons and stuff. The dinner I had there: a trio of game (kudo, springbok and impala) was really good, but there was classical music playing really loud. Not the best athmosphere.
On our last night the place was by the ocean, a little less formal so that was good. I had some sushi.
As we left it was pouring rain outside.
And Bonnie and I realised we didn't close off the tent!!!
We didn't expect any rain.
As we got to the tent everything was soaking wet. My shoes, my papers, my pillow, my sleeping bag...
Ugh... Hated it!!!!!
Last night. Thank God!
In the morning took a hot shower and repacked my wet stuff.
Couple hours later we were dropped off in Cape Town.
I said goodbye to the group and took a cab to my hotel.
You can't believe how happy I am to be in a dry room, with a bed, clean sheets, towels, my own shower (no more carrying my toiletries and clothes to showers where they get wet before you get dressed), my own toilet and I even have aircon, a tv and a safe!
I'm on the rooftop of the hotel overlooking the ocean. I love it here.
So the title of this blog refers to that and also. Cape Town,, you don't have the feeling your Africa anymore.
Very western. Makes me feel like Sydney a little.
I do love it here... It's beautiful.
And as i'm writing this I realize it's already 10am and I need to go and explore!!! Because I have only two more days left...
