Cape Town Travel Blogs

Background: After the British seized the Cape of Good Hope area in 1806, many of the Dutch settlers (the Boers) trekked north to found their own republics. The discovery of diamonds (1867) and gold (1886) spurred wealth and immigration and intensified the subjugation of the native inhabitants. The Boers resisted British encroachments, but were defeated in the Boer War (1899-1902). The resulting Union of South Africa operated under a policy of apartheid - the separate development of the races. The 1990s brought an end to apartheid politically and ushered in black majority rule.

24 July -29 July We loved Cape Town. Not only because it meant we got to sleep in a bed and cook our own meals but it meant we could exercise! We had really enjoyed the previous 5 weeks but I’m not sure if I have even felt so unhealthy in my life. With the exception of Kilimanjaro we had spent most days sitting and eating unhealthy food. Cape Town was also a really great city, it reminded us of San Fran or Sydney but a little smaller with a huge flat mountain sticking out of the skyline. We decided to [View Full Entry]

For the second time in as many weeks, winds postponed my shark cage diving experience. One of these weekends, the wind will die down and when it does, I'll be ready. Saturday the weather held out and we were able to climb Devil's Peak, the tallest point in Cape Town at around 3,000 feet. The hike was about a six hour hike, three up, three down, and it was a good challenge. Most of the way up we were walking right along the edge of the mountain and had to pull ourselves up rocks, and the weather went from very warm [View Full Entry]

As many of you know, I often travel by myself. For those of you who don’t know, I’m a girl. A blond, curly haired girl - I can’t really fly under the radar. I’ve been frustrated lately by the limitations of independent travel. I should also note that when I was in Cape Town with a group, I was frustrated by the limitations of group travel, and when I traveled with my brother last summer, I was occasionally frustrated by the limitations of having only one travel companion. This is all as a caveat to state that I’m unable to ever [View Full Entry]
