This weekend, I spent many hours in the car, discovering the amazing landscape of the region around Cape Town. On Saturday morning, I got up very early for driving to the Inverdoorn Game Reserve together with two German friends which I met at school. After three hours, we arrived in the middle of nowhere in the game reserve. During the journey, we had used many opportunities for taking a shot of the breath-taking landscape.
On the safari, we saw many different animals like elephants, lions, cheetahs, zebras, giraffes or springboks. It was awesome being so close to this animals, absolutely not the same feeling as when they are behind a glass as they are in a zoo. Although it was very windy we could enjoy our safari very much. As I've not received the pictures of the animals yet, I'll put them online later ;)
On Sunday, we drove along the coast to Hermanus, a mecca for whale-watching, because it is the season of the whales coming close to the coast. The reason for this are the calfs, they have to grew up in a safe area unlike the high sea. Hence, we had the enjoyment seeing whales right after we had arrived there. Unfortunately, they didn't show any intentions to jump, so we saw only their back or sometimes also a fin. Nevertheless, it was a great experience, also due to the beautiful view we had while we were driving around the False Bay from Hermanus back to Cape Town.
Finally, we finished off the great weekend with a Mojito and dinner in a Cuban restaurant called "Cape to Cuba". So here is the final word, used by the South Africans in nearly every situation: Cheers!
