F E L I N E R S

Many times people have asked me, of all the places that I've visited, which would be my favourite. I'd always give the same answer. Capetown, South Africa. I remembered my first visit there, I was REALLY REALLY excited. I've heard so much about South Africa but could never imagine the place. The minute I got out of the airport,I could see the magnificent view of Table Mountain. I remember feeling very happy, excited & jakun. Anyway, I only have 3 days there so I had to plan my schedule carefully.

This is the Cape of Good Hope. Remember I mentioned that the Tip of Borneo reminds me of the view in Capetown? This is the place.

According to our guide,this is the meeting point of Atlantic and Indian oceans.

view from the top..

The next few pictures were taken in a place called Champs Bay. It's really really beautiful...& windy. One of those come-to-life-postcards..

This, by the way, is the view from my hotel room. Nice right? Waking up to Table Mountain every morning. =)

And these were taken from the top of Table Mountain. It was freezing cold...

Behind me is the 12 Apostles,in Maiden's Cove..I tried counting.. but I lost count halfway thru. Maybe u gals should try..

We were on the boat to the Seal Island and we went pass this... it's the Lion's Peak.

and this is the Seal Island. Look carefully and see how they piled up on each other..


Boulders Beach's Penguins Colony. There were supposed to be more penguins but it was mating season. They were all hiding. He was the only one brave enough to come out. The rest were feeling anti-social I suppose..

Next is the Safari Park. I went to Pilanesburg Park, Johannesburg once. The park was so huge,and it was winter. Our guide forgot to bring the binoculars,so we've only managed to see the animals from far. So this time around, I took the Safari Park tour package from the hotel in Capetown. It's definitely more expensive but at least I get to see more animals.

Lazy lions. They are fed once a week. It was the 6th day when I went there. Springboks. I've tried ordering it in every restaurants but they only serve it as appetiser. Would really love to try having it as a main.

Next to giraffe is another type of game. Can't remember the name though.

Feisty,dangerous,powerful looking bulls. They're so close...


This animal needs no introduction.

It was really difficult to take this picture. Everytime I try to take a picture of the rhinos, they'll show their bums. I waited really long to take this shot.

I wanted to show how close our jeep was. It was a great experience though. Very cold,bumpy & smelly ride.

This is waterfront. It's not safe to walk around the city (where our hotel is) especially if you're not local. So this is definitely a tourist spot,and also where we have our meals & do our shopping in Capetown. Very nice environment...

from left: Ostrich Burger (very tender,juicy & yummy), Grilled Prawns, Fish & Chips with Spinach & Pumpkin as sides. YUM!

Since I they didn't have Springbok on their Main's menu, I ordered 'Game of the Day'. It's Kudu meat. I saw one Kudu when I was in Pilanesburg Park. Very huge,very white... very stiff & dry meat too. But it looks good right? Hopefully next time I can finally have my springbok meat. =)

I wanted to post a couple videos. But it takes forever to upload it so I gave up. But I really want to share the video with u gals. So i'll try again tomorrow.
