tadaima!
South Africa was beautiful. The trip started off with a few days tour in Cape town which is located near the ocean. Cape town is a scenic and relaxed place. The weather was cooling as it was nearing end of winter with glimpses of budding colorful flowers. Johannesburg was more citylike and very industrial. Soweto was an eye opener with a rich history particularly on how the students rioted and sacrificed in the struggle for freedom and democracy.
Sun City was disappointing as the local guide acclaimed it to be SA's Las Vegas. A city that never sleeps interlinking 4 hotels each with a casino attached. Like real lor! the shops were closed by 10.30pm and we barely made it to have our dinner at Nandos. We could not make any booking for the adventure rides as the booking counters were closed... guess what. they were closed even earlier than the stipulated closing time they stated. wth. the casino tables dun operate 24 hours. they only open at 1pm in the afternoon.
The adventure rides were ridiculously priced and even the most affordable horse riding we did was a ripoff at 210 rand (about S$40 for 50min) after we saw it at S$15 at other places. Horse riding was an experience though and it was really the highlight of Sun City.
well, that was prob the only down of the trip. The game reserve drive was dam relaxing with the wind in your hair and it was a refreshing experience not seeing the animals in cages. haha. Loved it!
Another of my fave experience would probably be feeding the lion cubs.. they were so so so cute and it's like really a once in a lifetime experience to get so up close and personal with these babies.
took 1014 pics this time round, to be recorded in mochi's guinness records. need some time to sort it out. more updates coming sooN!
