In just a few minutes, the driver also chatted with Nalan Seqi and Yunluo. He immigrated here from Pakistan with his family. Where there is "gold" will never be short of labor.

After a long journey, I returned to the hotel at 0 o'clock and dinner ended at 0:30 o'clock, just in time. The meal time of the day was really. After filling my stomach, I went back to my room to wash up, packed up my things, and set off again to the airport.

I was supposed to arrive in Cape Town at 16:25 pm on February 7, and I could have a good sleep after getting off the plane. I started to have a complete trip on the second day. I didn’t expect that the most praised airlines would have unreliable accidents.

Although I wasted a night of stay in Cape Town, a night of complete sleep, and a half day of travel time, after an unexpected trip to Dubai, even if it was just a quick glance, it was a reward.

It was another 8-hour long flight from Dubai to Cape Town. He arrived in Cape Town at 11:30 local time. After getting off the plane, I found a problem. The flight attendant did not give an entry card. Indeed, South Africa does not need an entry card. How great it is, it saves you taking an exit page around you.

South Africa is a country suitable for self-driving. If you don’t have a car, you can’t walk. Considering the safety and comfort, Yunluo customized his own itinerary and then booked a driver and tour guide through a travel agency. Although it was expensive, it was easy to have fun.

"You can't have both fish and bear's paws." It is precisely because the plan was a little extravagant, so even if you temporarily bring Nalan Shiqi to accompany you, the little girl said she was not under pressure.

After taking out my luggage, I saw Xiao Zhou, a tall and thin boy from the Beijing city, whom the travel agency was looking for by Yunluo. The first suggestion he gave Yunluo was to buy a phone card first. The mobile phone bill in South Africa is very expensive, with local calls r2.8/minute and international long-distance r15/minute.

For Yunluo, it is not much more expensive to use international long-distance in South Africa with a Chinese Mobile card, but considering that Xiao Zhou would also call Yunluo, he still bought a phone card. Later, he found that this method was still feasible, because if you buy another Internet traffic, you won’t be afraid of losing wifi.

Accommodations in the south are all done on oking. Although there is a "refund agreement to cancel the reservation within the specified time", almost all merchants have to collect deposits or even deduct the full amount, so if you want to cancel the reservation, even if you can refund, there will be a exchange rate loss. What is worthy of your praise.

No matter what size hotels are, they must be evaluated by the South African tourism department. Even family hotels have star rating standards. Generally, people like Yunluo who have some small requirements for accommodation are fully met.

First, go to the hotel to checkin.harbourb daily dgehotel & suites, 4* business hotel, no breakfast. Wifi charges, xurysuite, r990/night. The location is not as good as Yunluo imagined, but the room is not bad and spacious, especially the kitchen is very modern, with all pots and pans.

The kitchen appliances and washing machines are all made of sch, one bedroom and one living room. Xiao Zhou can go into the room with Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to discuss the itinerary, and it will not be as cramped as the hotel's standard room. The fruits were bought by themselves in the supermarket. It's so sweet.

It was originally supposed to be the whole day, but because I arrived one day late, and now I only have half a day left, so I had to give up some attractions. Yunluo originally planned to go to Kirsten Schnational Schnational Garden first and then to Table Mountain.

But Xiao Zhou said that the distance between the two places was a bit far, and from the beginning of getting off the plane, Yun Luo also felt the sunshine in Cape Town. After several days of running around, he also consumed a lot of physical strength. Considering that it might be too tiring to go to the Botanical Garden, he adopted Xiao Zhou's suggestion and went to the city hall to check it out, and then went to Table Mountain.

South Africa is the only country in the world with three capitals, the administrative capital (local location of the central government) preto (pretoria), and the legislative capital (local location) capetofontein (Bloemfontein).

Another world-renowned feature is that on December 1, 2006, the same-sex marriage bill passed by the South African parliament officially came into effect. South Africa became the fifth country in the world to recognize same-sex marriage and set a precedent in Africa.

As the legislative capital of the Parliament, Cape Town has a significant political status, and its ancient buildings and unique natural scenery left over from its long-term colonial rule make it one of the most popular tourist cities in South Africa and even the world.

In 1486, the first Europeans were led by (Bartoromeu Miu Dias) to arrive here. Later, the Portuguese navigator vascogama (Vascoda Gama) landed again on the way to develop a direct route from Europe to Asia in 1497.

In 1652, white Europeans built the supply base of the Dutch East India Company here, and the city of "capetown" was born, which is the birthplace of South Africa and is also called the Mother City. This mother city has changed hands several times over the past three hundred years, and has been ruled and colonized by European countries such as the Netherlands, Britain, Germany, and France.

Through the colonial history, Cape Town is surrounded by ancient houses from the colonial era and commercial tall buildings with classic European styles.

At present, the oldest European-style building in South Africa is castlegoodhope (Fortress of Good Hope, "a" in the road map). In 1666, the Europeans rebuilt the first military base on a wooden fortress built by Dutch captain Janvan Ribeeck (Jane Van Ribeeck). Most of its building materials were from the Netherlands at that time.

In 1679, the first Dutch governor to send private contact with Nvanderstel (Simon vanderstel) arrived in Cape Town, replacing Van Ribeck as the local leader, and became the official residence of the Dutch East India Company.

There are now a small prison room with the prisoners' past graffiti, the unique William Ferhe Art Collection Museum and the Military Museum. The main building in the middle also retains the furniture and daily necessities of that year. Although it is not luxurious, it exudes ancient elaboration.

The most beautiful building in Cape Town is the cityhall (city hall, "b" in the road map), built in 1905. It is a building mixed with the Italian Renaissance and British colonial style. It is used as a grandparade for its noble and solemn style. It is also the location of the Cape Town Library and the Cape Town Symphony Orchestra.

The Cathedral of St. George, not far away, is known as the "Cathedral of the People". Even during the period of apartheid in South Africa, the gate of St. George's Cathedral was always facing people of all races. On September 7, 1986, the Archbishop of the Anglican Church of South Africa became the first black archbishop in South Africa.

On September 13, 1989, Tutu led 30,000 South Africans to conduct a famous anti-racist rule parade. The march shouted all the way: "Naran Shiqi and Yunluo are the rainbow nation, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo are the new people of South Africa." The "rainbow nation" created by Tutu.

Since then, the term has become synonymous with the integration of various ethnic groups in South Africa. He himself won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 for his commitment to abolishing the apartheid policy. The church is not big, and now it is being renovated. Only some photos of the grand parades were placed at the entrance.

If you can't go to the botanical garden, just go for a park. The free thepanysgarden (Government Street Park, "c" in the road map), was built in 1652. It was originally a botanical garden belonging to the Dutch East India Company vegetable garden. Now it has various precious trees and plants planted here, and it is also one of the good places to appreciate Table Mountain.

Squirrels shuttle freely in the garden, and pigeons wander around tourists, full of harmony and comfort. But they will also encounter beggars there, and they should try to avoid them even during the day. After nightfall, they may be the risk factor.

Nearby is South Africa's largest supermarket chain, "picknpay", which can be easily found even in small towns, and is no smaller than that of big cities.

Most of the accommodations that Yunluo booked on Garden Avenue have kitchens, and Nalan Shiqi is a ready-made chef, so she bought oil, salt and rice all the way. Xiao Zhou recommended Yunluo to try the local yogurt. She never drank large bottles in Sihai City, and bought a large bottle out of trying.

Sure enough, it is not disappointing. The same brand has a different taste from the ones sold in China, and it will not get greasy if you drink too much. By the way, the mineral water in South Africa is much more expensive than that in Sihai City, but it is extremely easy to sell. In addition to the taste, it is said that locals need to add carbon dioxide water.

Because South Africa has good air quality, few impurities, too strong sunshine, and too much ultraviolet rays intake by the human body, this water quality is needed to adjust. All supermarkets sell mineral water containing carbon dioxide, similar to soda water, but the soda water you drink in Sihai City has additives in order to increase the taste, and what you sell is purely breathable mineral water.

After leaving the supermarket, there is a telecommunications store opposite. I bought the Internet traffic, r99/250m. The more I bought it, the cheaper the unit price. I have to show my identity certificate when buying a phone card and traffic, and foreigners use their passports.
