Olivia's Experience

Today we visited many beautiful and breathtaking sites. We went to many beaches, but the most memorable one that we went to was the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point National Park. This is the southernmost point in west South Africa, and it was beautiful. It was a huge climb to the lighthouse, but it was all worth it in the end. You could see for miles, and I felt like I was on top of the world. When we visited the Cape of Good Hope we were in Cape Point National Park, which is the whole tip of Cape Town. We were able to see various animals, like gazelles, baboons, and so many different birds. Along with those land animals, we were also able to go to Seal Island. This is a whole cluster of huge rocks where Sea Lions just chill out and sunbathe. 

Today was our last day with our tour guides. One of them was named Percy and he was the funniest guy you've ever met. He knew South Africa like the back of his hand. He gave us advice and answered any question we had, he also provided really interesting information about the Apartheid and many struggles that he and his tribe went through during that horrible time. Overall, today was a breathtaking and surreal day. We were able to go to places that I have never dreamed of, and I am so thankful for this day. Peace from South Africa!
