Up bright and early in the morning, we joined the “Baz Bus” tour of the Cape of Good Hope, excited for the adventures that lay ahead. The day promised stunning landscapes and unforgettable experiences, and we couldn’t wait to explore this iconic region.
As we boarded the bus, the energy was palpable. Other travelers from around the world shared their stories, and we quickly bonded over our mutual excitement. The sun was just beginning to rise, casting a golden hue over the city and highlighting the majestic Table Mountain in the distance.
Our first stop was at Hout Bay, where we marveled at the picturesque harbor and the surrounding cliffs. We even had a chance to take a boat ride to see the famous seal colony on Duiker Island. The sight of the seals basking in the sun and playfully splashing in the water was delightful and set the tone for our day.
We moved on up to Chapman’s point with Spectacular views over the bay. Next stop was Boulders beach to visit the Cape penguins, there were hundreds of these little fellas on the beach and the boardwalks allowed you get up close and to the new born chicks as well as the adult penguins who marching around the beach with their funny little walk.
One of the highlights was our adventure in the Cape of Good Hope National Park. As we entered the park, the excitement was palpable. We unloaded our bicycles and set off, riding about 7 kilometers to our lunch spot. The scenery was stunning, with rugged cliffs and sweeping ocean views that made the ride exhilarating.
After a delightful lunch, we made our way to the Tip of the Cape. We hopped onto the funicular, which took us up to the lighthouse. The views from the top were nothing short of dramatic, overlooking False Bay and the shimmering ocean. It felt like we were on the edge of the world.
We then embarked on a 4-kilometer walk along the cliff's edge, taking in the breathtaking sights. Along the way, we encountered several large Cape baboons, casually making their own way through the park, and a couple of wild ostriches, which added to the sense of adventure.
As we approached the very end of the Cape, we couldn’t resist stopping to capture some photos at the famous sign. Standing there, with the wind in our hair and the vast ocean stretching out before us, it felt like a truly special moment before returning to Cape Town.
In the evening we had dinner at a lovely local restaurant in Seapoint’s and Rob tried roast Springbok for the first time, its absolutely delicious.
