Date of Trip: 04.08 ~ 04.12
I planned this trip the day before--on the 7th.
I wanted to take the Shosholoza Meyl train, but I couldnt get the ticket in time.
Instead, I was able to get a flight ticket for a similar price.
On way train ticket (23hrs travel time) was ZAR690 but the flight ticket including priority boarding was ZAR799--an absolute steal.
Although I wanted to enjoy the view on the train ride, I bought the ticket and started searching for a place to stay. Through a simple google search, I found a great place to stay--Mojo Hotel < https://www.themojohotel.com/ >.
It was super inexpensive, located in a safe area, stone's throw away from the beach, and hike-able distance to Table Mountain. The first floor is a food court area and the rest of the building is a hotel. Very good for backpackers and travelers.
Some Excellent food I had at Mojo Hotel. Seafood was super fresh and Cape Brewing Company had fantastic beer.
It took me three hours to climb up. It was quite a journey but definitely worth it.
The view from Table Mountain was absolutely stunning
Scroll through the above photos.
I highly recommend driving to Cape Town by yourself. Every kilometer and every second is lovely.
Thanks for reading!
