Goodbye Seychelles - Hello Cape Town

in travel •  7 years ago  (edited)

The eagle had landed! I’m safe and sound in my hotel bed in Cape Town! I can see Table Mountain from my bed, so I’m not complaining. But coming here ment that I had to leave the island paradise Seychelles in the Indian Ocean, so I thought I’d share some of my favorite photos from my two weeks at the Seychelles.

If you’re interested, I’ve written a review of the resort here: @hotelreviews

Oh, and here is my hotel in Cape Town:

There’s a level 5 drought here now. So no long, nice shower after the flight for me. I really respect the hotel’s wishes when they kindly ask all travelers to use as little water as possible.

Like you know I always do, I chatted up the taxi driver, and this guy was 100% certain that this drought was the final sign of the world’s end! At least I can die happy then, because this place is gorgeous! Only time will tell if I make it to heaven!

Omg so beautyfull <3

Your photographs not only speak beautifully for themselves but your captions added more colour, meaning and immediacy to them, for examples: 'I’m 30 on the outside, but 75 on the inside.', 'Mad about sunsets', 'The struggle behind a good picture', etc.

This makes you something of a well-rounded artist - photographer and writer all in one.

Thank you for sharing all these talents with the world, @susanne.

Upvoted and resteemed.

Ha ha! Thank you so much. I'm glad you get my sense of humor. Or lack of humor.
Your comment made my day! Thank you. I really appreciate it.

WOWW ... Indian Ocean ... I've never been before. But I wish I could go there. It looks perfect .. Was that flower orchid a responsibility? Fantastic !! I had a love at Christmas. I was very happy .. ☺☺ I also noticed that you followed me. This made me very happy. Thank you very much for your support. @susanne
Always smile... life s good 🏝🏝🏝👍👍☺

And I resteemed to you sir ..✌

I've noticed that you call me sir a lot of the time. Sir is actually something that you would only call a man. I'm not a man :) FYI! :)

Owww! so sorry. I think it's a translation error.
How would you like to address you? :)

It was amazing! What do you mean by responsibility?
I did follow you! :) Of course, and likewise.
I agree.

Cape Town is a truly wonderful place with amazing views. The best views are from Cape Point and mountains near Noordhoek @susanne

Thanks for the tips! I agree. It's such a unique place.

loved all the photos! This is so random, but what kind of camera are you using on the selfie stick under water?

I can't wait to see more of Cape Town, I'll be attentively watching

Coming from you, that's a huge compliment. They're all taken with my phone, except the underwater one, which it taken with a GoPro, an old one. I'm sure you can find a very cheap one on Craigslist.
It's so pretty here. You'd love it. I'm actually already thinking about coming back here in March. HAHA.

I tell you if I could just be in your shoes traveling seeing new places getting exposed and better experienced all these gets me better educated and enlightened

such a beautiful location. I really do hope that they have some rain soon also. Droughts are such devastating things

Damn it! One more Seychelles tease before the Africa blogs start rolling out!

Love the snorkeling picture!!! That water looks amazing!

I know. Sorry! Ha ha. Seychelles is in Africa too, just saying! :p
Thank you so much, mister. It was pretty nice. How are you doing?

I knew you were going to say that: Seychelles is in Africa too, just saying! lol

I'm doing well, thanks. Waiting for spring... In the meantime, trying to be productive. :)

Alright. Get out there and start pumping out those Dark Continent blogs, girl!

Beautiful. How is Capetown ? I saw on the news they were running out of water. Would love to explore that area.

Thanks. There's a pretty rough drought here. It's level 5 water restrictions here now. Showers shold be 2 minutes or less.
You should definitely explore the area. It's pretty great.

I had love to visit Cape Town someday

Yes, you should. It's very unique and the nature is unreal.
