Photo diary: South Africa Week 1

Haven't really got time to arrange and sort out all the photos, so I just picked a few photos here and there from different days to show you a little of how South Africa actually looks like! The mountain in the photo above is the well-known Table Mountain, if you're wondering.

This handsome young man was our host brother! They're all SO good at jet skiing, waterskiing...all kinds of water sports. He's definitely a water child. I heard he took part in a competition that he had to jet ski 3 days straight, for a few thousands kilometers, and he actually taped his hand to the jetski handle so he wouldn't stop no matter what. They have their own jetski, motorboat, waterski, so for 2 full days we were just chilling on the water, under the sun. I'm so tanned now, but we had a blast. 

note: the one sitting behind him isn't me. haha

Top image: Our, so far, favourite breakfast here. We had it almost everyday when we were with our first host family. 

Also, there are seas and seas and vineyards here! there are always a few trees with the lilac colour leaves in the farm, I find it really pretty, don't you think?!

The wind is so strong over here that you can feel the force when you open the car door. We washed and hanged our clothes the right after we reached home - about 5pm, and they were dried before we went to sleep. I like winds, but I must blame the wind if I couldn't go up to the famous Table Mountain these few days before I leave Cape Town as the cable car going up to the mountain isn't working because of the strong wind. 

Let's be honest, when we were on our way here, we were expecting to see many wildlife animals when we reached. And funny that I haven't seen any of them. So, are the photos what you expect to see in South Africa? Probably not. I swear if I show people the last few images they wouldn't have known that I'm at South Africa, because this isn't what they think South Africa would look like. But this country has amazed me in so many ways, the view is absolutely spectacular, and the people are the loveliest I've ever met. Ever. I love this place very, very much.
