Cape Town Table Mountain - Africa Day1 Pt1

SAWUBONA AFRICA!!!! :))

That's how you say hello in Africa ;)

MasyaAllah, I finally got to step my feet in the land of Africa last March! Cape Town, South Africa has been in my wish list for years!! It was like a dream come true, I tell ya! Cape Town, as I imagined it… is awesomely beautiful, subhanallah. I know this so backdated, but I had been so busy for the past few weeks that I did not get the right time to write a post on this Africa trip.

The 3 of us - yours truly, mr hubby and a friend, Mr Abang Yusof flew to Cape Town using Qatar Airlines via Doha (oh yeah… it was a super long journey - 7 hours from KL to Doha and another 8 hours from Doha to Cape Town). And hey my single lady-friends… Abang Yusof is still single and available *wink!* *wink!*

Us - at the new Doha Airport

I actually typed notes about this trip in my iphone5…. unfortunately, after I sent to phone to workshop for repair, all notes are gone :( Pffttt!! Am pretty upset still :'( So yeah, am writing this posting based on whatever I remember… not much detail, I am afraid :'(

We reached Cape Town early in the morning and went straight to our hotel, Holiday Inn, Cape Town, which cost us around ZAR260 by taxi.

Beautiful view of Cape Town from our flight when our flight was about to land...

Welcome to Cape Town International Airport ;)

So excited to be in South Africa!! :D

 Breathtakingly beautiful scenery along the way from airport to hotel. Subhanallah, all the time I can't stop thanking Allah for giving me the opportunity to see this side of the world!

Since it was still early, we decided to leave our bags at the counter and leave for Table Mountain. The girl at the hotel concierge helped us to call a taxi. The taxi driver charged us ZAR400 from our hotel to Table Mountain + Signal Hill and later back to the hotel - not sure it's cheap or expensive. Table Mountain is obviously the most iconic landmark in Cape Town. We took the cable car (ZAR225 per head) to go to Table Mountain top.

Muka tak mandi pagi lagi… haha!

Table Mountain is a flat-topped mountain forming the most prominent landmark overlooking the city of Cape Town. This iconic Table Mountain is featured in the Flag of Cape Town and is officially appointed as one of the 7 Wonders of Nature in this world.

The cable car is full… but not so bad. And what beautiful view we got to see!

The view from the top of the mountain is breathtakingly beautiful.. Subhanallah… 

About 2,200 species of plant and 1470 floral species can be found in the protected natural habitat of Table Mountain.

Awww… look at this cute little fellow :D
