Plane tickets booked, hotel reservations made, bags packed but guess what? Am still two weeks away from seeing this lovely place the world calls Cape Town😀.

Am so tired of counting my days till ‘The Big Day’ because this adrenaline can’t leave me alone! So okay, I calm down and focus on my work and before I know it, am heading to the airport and arrive at Cape Town International Airport. I totally loved using British Airways but stopped over at Oliva Tambo Airport to get on a completely different airline called Kulula.

Anyways am loving the different atmosphere here .Lots of nice and friendly people but of course don’t trust just anyone Faith remember this is a solo trip. So I hold back from appearing too friendly and foreign but my face is so tight because I can’t stop myself from appearing happy. I mean, I will be here a good ten days, get it? Ten, good, happy, playful days of relaxation.

I arrive at Mojo hotel in Seapoint and this is an insanely cool place, so in love with their theme colours. So many nice and friendly people and I get one day discount for booking 10 days.

Tomorrow am totally taking a walk with my GPS so I could fall more in love with this city. Lots to see.

Cape Town is beautiful! One thing that amazed me is the different climate that is there. Very different weather compared to the heat am used to. I have decided to book a tour bus called City Sight Seeing. A cool looking red bus which will help me know the city more than this walking  I did which just left me exhausted😏but glad I now have a mini map in my head of this immediate location of mine in Seapoint.

This tour bus is a hop on, hop off and so this gave me the opportunity to see The Two Oceans Aquarium, The Cape Wheel, The Table Mountain and some priest statues etc

I decided to do a boat tour on one of The City Sight Seeing mini boats and managed to get a glimpse of a seal.

All this was so much fun because I had a relaxed base to go back to  which was a relaxing hotel with fun activities with fun activities like Cow boy and Red Indian party that I loved so much  because I met the coolest people there! My ten days in Cape Town was totally worth the stay and if money used to grow like grass ,would definitely want my grass growing so that I make more memories by returning there!

Depending on which part of the world you are coming from, you may have different travel needs and desires. Are you looking to travel to a distant land or just get a breather, to know how that end is like or simply to add it to your travel list as a checked item.

Livingstone which is in the southern  part of a country called Zambia in Africa should or could be added to your list. When I first took on Livingstone it was a solo trip. All I wanted was the thrill of seeing what I have not seen. Nature to me is one of the most refreshing things to cling to when looking for peace or just unwinding from a busy schedule.

Being a high school teacher means having term breaks and that is my time to be mobile. Livingstone has lots of hotels of different classes. If you are in transit ,a backpacker should do, my favorite being Jolie Boys Backpackers. Because I have done lots of solo travelling, places like these in Livingstone have turned out to be one of the best places to find or meet like minded buddies😜.

Depending on your budget, fun activities could range from reptile park visit to a walk in the trail that leads to the Victoria Falls which is one of the most amazing places with a high chance of meeting chimps and monkeys but be careful not to carry any fruit or brightly colored drinks because you may end up being the tourist attraction as they are bullies😏 (happened to me).You could also do some biking and walking tours around Livingstone which is a good way to appreciate the environment.

If you do like to watch African dances especially the warrior Zulu or Ngoni dances, this should be the place for you. If on the other hand your account is fat and your savings are screaming, ”use us!” you could bangee  jump, helicopter ride or even water raft….which I haven’t done YET😆.But one thing is for sure….you will love Livingstone and have fun when you are there!
