It was breezy and sunny when we arrived at Cape Town airport. We stayed at a flat at Sea Point with a distanced ocean view and a church standing between. Cape Town is undoubtedly beautiful and characterful. Besides its commonly recognized striking landscape, Cape Town is appealing to me for its wind (sometimes it can be pretty crazy), roaring seagulls, seaweed smells from the seas and the natural looking and feels. You feel natural and refreshed here. We stayed at Cape Town for about 5 days. During our stay, we visited families and friends, attending some family gatherings, hiked the Lion's Head and Table Mountain and took a long drive along the Cape Peninsula. We stopped and strolled on beaches, we saw sunsets on a few beaches, we embraced the striking beauty that the local mountains offer, we indulged ourselves with delicious seafood at nice restaurants and we enjoyed our time with families and friends. The most important component, for Lance, of the trip is the nostalgia moments on the beaches, on the top of mountains and at the corners of the town and his reunion with his long time friends and families. He was energetic and glowing. The places we visited in Cape Town and Cape Peninsula area include Sea Point, Bantry Bay, Clifton, Camps Bay, Llandudno beach, Hout Bay, Constantia, Misty Cliffs, Scarborough, Simon's Town, Kalk Bay, St James, Muizenberg, Table Mountain and Lion's Head. The trip was delightful and yet somewhat of a rush. We felt we didn't give it enough time to enjoy a relaxing afternoon on the beaches. Lance found himself struggle to justify his moving out of the town years ago. I see Cape Town's charm and understand its power to make every expats wonder if they made a right choice. It's a tough call, indeed.
