During the short journey of several minutes, the driver chatted with Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. He immigrated here from Pakistan with his family. Where there is "gold", there will never be a shortage of labor.

After all the hassles along the way, it was already 0 o'clock when I got back to the hotel. Dinner ended at 0:30, just in time. This day's meal time was really... After a quick meal, I went back to the room to freshen up, packed up my things, and set off for the airport again.

We were supposed to arrive in Cape Town at 16:25 on the 27th. I could have a good sleep after getting off the plane and start my full tour the next day. I didn't expect that the most highly-rated airline would have such an unreliable accident.

Although I wasted a night's accommodation in Cape Town, lost a full night of sleep, and missed half a day of sightseeing, I still had an unexpected trip to Dubai, even if it was just a quick glimpse, and it was still a gain after all.

It was another 8-hour long flight from Dubai to Cape Town. We arrived in Cape Town at 11:30 local time. I found a problem after getting off the plane. The flight attendant did not give me an entry card. Indeed, South Africa does not need an entry card. How great! I don't have to carry an exit card with me.

South Africa is a country suitable for self-driving. It is almost impossible to get around without a car. Considering safety and comfort, Yunluo planned his own itinerary and then booked a driver and tour guide through a travel agency. Although the cost was expensive, he had a relaxing and comfortable time.

"You can't have your cake and eat it too." And because the plan was a little extravagant, the little girl said she had no pressure even if she had to temporarily bring Nalan Shiqi along.

After getting the luggage, she saw Xiao Zhou, a tall and thin Beijing boy, who was the driver and tour guide that the travel agency had found for Yun Luo. His first suggestion to Yun Luo was to buy a phone card. Mobile phone charges in South Africa are very expensive, with local calls costing R2.8 per minute and international calls costing R15 per minute.

For Yunluo. It is not expensive to make international calls in South Africa with a China Mobile card, but considering that Xiao Zhou would also call Yunluo, she still bought a phone card. Later, she found that this method is still feasible, because she can buy an Internet data, so she is not afraid of not being able to get it done. Although there is a "refund agreement for cancellation of reservations within the specified time", almost all merchants have to collect deposits in advance or even deduct the full amount, so if you want to cancel the reservation, there will be exchange rate losses even if you can get a refund. It is commendable.

All hotels of any size must be rated by the South African Tourism Department. Even family hotels have star rating standards. Generally, 4* or above can fully meet the needs of people like Yunluo who have some requirements for accommodation.

The kitchen appliances and washing machine are all Bosch, with one bedroom and one living room. Xiao Zhou can go into the room with Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to discuss the itinerary, and it won't be as cramped as a standard hotel room. The fruit is bought by myself at the supermarket. It's so sweet.

Originally, today was supposed to be a full day, but because we arrived a day late, we only had half a day left, so we had to give up some attractions. Yunluo originally planned to go to Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden first, and then go to Table Mountain.

But Xiao Zhou said the distance between the two places was a bit far, and from the moment he got off the plane, Yun Luo also felt the bright sunshine in Cape Town. After days of running around, his physical strength was also greatly consumed. Considering that walking in the botanical garden might be too tiring, he adopted Xiao Zhou's suggestion and went to the vicinity of the City Hall instead, and then went to Table Mountain.

South Africa is the only country in the world with three capitals: Pretoria, the administrative capital (seat of the central government), and Bloemfontein, the legislative capital (seat of parliament).

Another feature that attracted worldwide attention was that on December 1, 2006, the Same-sex Marriage Bill previously passed by the South African Parliament officially came into effect, making South Africa the fifth country in the world to recognize same-sex marriage and setting a precedent in Africa.

As the legislative capital where the parliament is located, Cape Town not only has a pivotal political status, but also has ancient buildings left over from the long colonial rule and unique natural scenery, making it one of the most popular tourist cities in South Africa and even the world.

In 1497, Vasco da Gama landed again on his way to open a direct route from Europe to Asia. This city is called "Mother City". It is the birthplace of South Africa. This Mother City has changed hands several times over the past 300 years and has been ruled and colonized by European countries such as the Netherlands, Britain, Germany and France.

Cape Town has gone through a colonial history. Today, colonial-era houses and European classical-style commercial high-rises stand side by side in the city. In 1666, Europeans rebuilt the first military base on the wooden fortress built by Dutch captain Jan van Riebeeck. Most of the building materials came from the Netherlands.

In 1679, the first Dutch governor, Simon van der Stel, arrived in Cape Town to replace Van Riebeeck as the local leader, and it became the official residence of the Governor of the Dutch East India Company.

Now there are small cells with graffiti left by prisoners, the distinctive William Feher Art Collection and the Military Museum in the fort. The main building in the middle still retains the furniture and daily necessities of the time. Although not luxurious, it exudes ancient sophistication. Cape Town Hall ("B" in the route map) is a building that mixes Italian Renaissance and British colonial styles. It is used as a parade ground (Grand Parade) because of its noble and solemn style. It is also the location of the Cape Town Library and the Cape Town Symphony Orchestra.

Not far away is St. George's Cathedral, which is known as the "people's church". Even during the apartheid period in South Africa, the doors of St. George's Cathedral were always open to people of all races. On September 7, 1986, Archbishop Desmond Mpilo Tutu of the Anglican Church of South Africa became the first black archbishop in South Africa.

On September 13, 1989, Tutu led 30,000 South Africans from here to hold a famous anti-racism march. The marchers shouted along the way: "Nalanshiqi and Yunluo are the rainbow nation, Nalanshiqi and Yunluo are the new people of South Africa." The "rainbow nation" created by Tutu.

The term has since become synonymous with the great integration of the various ethnic groups in South Africa. He himself was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 for his efforts to abolish the apartheid policy. The church is not big and is currently under renovation. Only some photos of the grand parade of that year are placed at the entrance.

If you can't go to the botanical garden, just visit a park. The free Panys Garden (Government Street Park, "c" in the route map) was built in 1652. It was originally a botanical garden belonging to the Dutch East India Company's vegetable garden. Now it is planted with various precious trees and plants. It is also one of the good places to appreciate Table Mountain.

Squirrels roam freely in the park, and pigeons wander around tourists at will, full of harmony and comfort. But you will also encounter beggars there, so try to avoid them even during the day, as they may be a factor that triggers danger after dark. "N pay" can be easily found even in small towns, and its scale is no smaller than that of big cities.

Most of the places Yunluo booked on Garden Avenue had kitchens, and Nalan Shiqi was a ready-made chef, so he bought oil, salt, and rice to accompany him along the way. Xiao Zhou recommended Yunluo to try the local yogurt. Yunluo never drank large bottles in Sihai City, so he bought a large bottle out of the desire to try.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

It really didn't disappoint me. The same brand has a different taste from the ones sold in China, and I don't feel sick even if I drink too much. By the way, South African mineral water, carbonated drinks in South Africa are much more expensive than those in Sihai City, but they are extremely popular. In addition to the taste, it is said that locals really need water with added carbon dioxide.

Due to the good air quality in South Africa, few impurities, strong sunshine, and excessive ultraviolet light intake by the human body, this kind of water is needed for regulation. Mineral water containing carbon dioxide is sold in every supermarket, which is similar to soda water. The only difference is that the soda water you drink in Sihai City has additives to enhance the taste, while what is sold there is pure mineral water that emits carbon dioxide.

After leaving the supermarket, there is a telecom store opposite. I bought internet data for R99250M. The more I buy, the cheaper the price. You need to show your ID to buy phone cards and data. Foreigners use their passports.

On the way to Table Mountain, Xiao Zhou was surprised by the "summer special" that Yunluo had found. Even he, a tour guide, didn't know that Table Mountain had such a special offer. (To be continued...)
