My Lovely Journey to Cape Town (South Africa)

For your information, if you want to buy souvenirs or special african stuff , I think Boulder Beach was so much fun because the price was lower than any place at Cape Town. There were many seller offered their stuff on the street with bargain/budget price. I have bought my artistic ostrich egg and beautiful stone here lol.

Ok, It was time to have a lunch...so our guide took us to Hout Bay, an elite resedential area outside Cape Town. Many of rich European and American people had bought house in this area. The houses in this area are so special and expensive since built on the edge of hill and had overview to Atlantic Ocean. 

There is a famous restaurant named FISH ON THE ROCK that had many visitor and we all had stopped by to eat squid, shrimp, fish and potatoes fries...

After had enjoyed the seafood, we went to Cape of Good Hope, the meeting location of Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean. If the European, Dutch and Portueguese didn't wish to colonize Indonesia, it is possible that city of Cape Town and Cape of Good Hope may never exist. There is a historical story where the name come from. 

According to history book, the journey to Indonesia by traditional ship was very very difficult, especially in this area. Previously Bartholomeus Diaz (1488) from Portueguese named the cape as Heavy Cape due the dificulty of weather and sea conditions. But King of Portuegues replace the name with Cape of Good Hope because Diaz invention was useful to open the way to tropical region.

The Cape of Good Hope is a beach that sourounded by stone hill which located in the area of Table Mountain Nation Park. There is another famous place in this area which is actually the lighthouse named CAPE POINT. If you want to go there from Cape of Good Hope by walk, many path provided to go there . Cause I've never ever worked out and I'm not truly a young woman....I'd chosen to go by bus and train...lol. 

From the lighthouse tower of Cape Point...I, with my own eyes, witness the meeting of Atlantic ocean and Indian Ocean. In this place there is a pole which contain direction and distance from Cape of Good Hope to all major cities , for example Singapore is 9.967 km and New York 12.555 km. 

By the way, there is a faith about Cape Point....believe it or not! Praying at the top and at the most tip of continent of Africa..and at the meeting place between 2 big ocean (Indian & Atlantic), it seems, all we can hope fulfilled. Many blessing and sucess of man in the past already achieved there.....so you may got too....lol

Finally...in my opinion...Cape Town is a piece of paradise in the African horizon. I'm very very happy had been there.....cause it's soooooo amazing, fun, and awesome...

Thank God for one best thing in my life....Amien!
