[080109] Post Cape Town

I'm back people! Once again, i leave a very beautiful and scenic country with absolutely gorgeous weather to return to a country the equivalent of a gym sauna, the heat and humidity powered to the max. I hate the weather in Singapore, im beginning to realise... weather in Cape Town was around the low twenties, might be lower, excellent for wearing your hoodies as you walk around town.

Fooooooooddddd.... Ahhhh... the very reason for mankind's existance. I took pics this time round so be warned. Tried fresh oysters for the first time, very very very nice indeed, no wonder ppl go ga-ga over them.

A squeeze of lemon and a dash of tabasco and voila! The perfect starter to your seafood meal. Ate at Ocean's basket, a restaurant similiar in concept to Fish and Co. though my colleagues tell me it's the same. Their seafood platter was to die for... fresh succulent fish with sumptous prawns and delightul rice and mussles. yumz.

Visited a seal colony as well as a beach frequented by the funniest and probably cutest creatures on Earth - Penguins! hahaha, absolutely hilarious watching the little critters walk around and jump from rock to rock as they manuveoured around the rocky coastline. Visited Cape Point where the cape of good hope is situated and the cape of good hope lighthouse but sadly visibilty was severly hampered with misty and cloudy conditions.

Fortune favoured those with persistance however as the skies was clear over table mountain allowing us the opportunity to go up Table Mountain - reckoned to the oldest mountain in the world, even older than the Rockies and Himalayas. The view was just breathtaking and with the impending sunset, every picture we took was just postcard perfect.

i miss cape town already... Brisbane coming up...
