So today was a little bit frustrating. But it was a nice frustrating because we were in Cape Town on holiday.  The plan for today was to do a Free Walking Tour around Cape Town City Centre in the morning and then hike up Lion's Head in the afternoon with a picnic dinner for sunset.  It started off fairly well - our lovely AirBnB hosts allowed us to use their washing machine for our smelly clothes which was very much appreciated. We got to the City Centr...

Today was Table Mountain day. The main attraction of Cape Town is this. You can hike up the mountain - takes about 2 and half hours for free. Or you can take the Aerial Cable Car - takes about 2 and a half minutes for $25 each. Kate said it was a well-spent $50 for two of us. Whoever goes to Cape Town must do the Table Mountain. Whether you walk or hike, it's an amazing and beautiful natural wonder. So natural and so wonderful that it is on the New 7 Natural Wond...

Proper first full day of being in one city for the first time on our holiday! Winning already. A good night's sleep in a comfortable bed at the AirBnB meant we were ready to get out and explore more of this beautiful place called Cape Town. After breakfast in bed (banana bread inspired muesli - but cereal nonetheless), we decided to get on the City Sightseeing Hop-On Hop-Off bus. You know the ones - those big red garish looking double-decker ones. On the way to t...

24 hours of travelling after leaving Perth (Singapore to Jo'burg to Cape Town) we finally get to walk onto African soil! Well at least pavement and concrete to the pick up point to meet our Uber driver.  Checked in to our AirBnB in Green Point (you can tell we're hardcore travellers - Ubers and AirBnBs). By the way, great location to stay in Cape Town - close to shops, restaurants, waterfront and Green Point stadium. Cape Town: Kate's initial impression: It'...

So we've finally made it! 4 years of work with the promise of paid liberty for a year. The last few months have been a bit of blur - finishing up work, packing the house, cleaning the house (multiple times), selling Kate's car, moving belongings to Perth (thanks mum and dad) and packing our bags (potentially overpacked!). We're now sitting at the Perth International Airport Gate 53 waiting to board after Kate, feeling peckish as always, voted to have a quick quic...
