My first days in Cape Town

I arrived safely in Cape Town, flight on time, with my luggage, sun was shining and all just good.
The first day I just walked around, with the feeling that even if I had physically landed, mentally I was still somewhere far north. I have been thinking about being there, but even now, 4 days later I hardly realize it.
The second day we went to a farm for some winetasting and I meet some friends of a classmate that lived here before. This was a little outside the city, actually very close to Stellenbosch and the nature was beautiful. It looks perfect for hiking in the mountains or bicycling on the roads.
Then we went to the beach, another friend brought us in his car so once again I got to just be in the car, looking out at everything that passed. The city center to Cape Town is really nice in all ways, but just 10min by car outside you drive by some bad neighbourhoods, just small shacks and limited opportunities. However, when we got to the beach it was amazing, so warm, I look like a pig now, my whole body burning last night. Since it was Sunday the beach was packed with people and the water was warm. Still no one went on deep water, the fear of sharks clearly hinder that, but enjoying the sun and a book, later the shadow and a book is just as good.

Today I went to the Table Mountain. The Table Mountains surrounds the city canter of Cape Town and is around 1080m tall. Which is very dominant. I used 1 hour and 40 minutes to run / walk up in the sun. When you got up it was an amazing view if the bay and the city. I walked around there, ate a little and just enjoyed it for a few hours before I walked another path down. When I was back at the hostel, 6 hours later I was exhausted from the sun and the activity.
Tomorrow we will go to anothere beach where there are penguins. The are jackass pengiuns outside of Cape Town, somethings that I find very fascinating.

I have the impresion of endless opportunities here and I am getting excited about settling in a new house and start my real life. My exams went better than I had hoped for so my motivation are stronger than ever.

This was very unorganized, but I had to much to write at the same time.
