Our first night in cape town was relatively quite, however we did get to know the hostel barmen quite well. The next morning we woke up late and wondered in to cape town to see what we could find. Cape town was a bit of a shock to the system after experiencing ghana, and egypt. Cape town is like any large European city and was unbelievable different to any other part of africa i had been to.
We made our way down to the water front and started shopping around for some good activities to do. After not to long we found a good price for a shark dive!
The next morning we got up at 4:30 to meet the bus for 5. we traveled about 2 hours up the coast to one of the most popular shark diving spots in south africa. By 9 o'clock we where on the boat and in the sea. By 10 we where diving. The diving was amazing, we where in a metal cage and the sharks got so close that the occasionally hit the cage. The trip was about 4 hours long and with about 20min each in the water. to be honest any longer and you would have frozen. even with the wet suits.
That night Everybody from the truck went out to dinner to say good bye to people like me who where leaving it. We went to a african restaurant that severed game meat which was excellent.
The next day i packed up and headed for the airport.
I flew to johannesburg which is about an hour and a half flight. where i met ash's dad, we drove for about 2 hours to Mikaikai a game farm where ash and two of her friends where staying. this was a great end to my trip. to see ash (who i hadn't seen in 14 weeks) and to stay in a place which had all the luxuries and more that i hadn't had in months.
now i have been home for 2 weeks. and i cant believe its all over as i spent so much time working for it and planning it. but o well time for uni and to start dreaming up my next trip.
