After a very early morning drive to Stansted (thanks Kim and Ian) a short hop over to Frankfurt where I enjoyed a ten hour layover (anything for a cheap flight!) I was almost looking forward to the 11hr 45 min flight to Capetown by the time we boarded!
The flight went smoothly and I arrived in Capetown at 8am, grabbed some cash and met my pickup driver. The weather was misty and overcast but warm. The driver was wonderfully informative even stopping to show me viewpoints along the way. Soon the skies were blue and the sun shone.
Arriving at Hermanus Backpackers I was welcomed warmly and soon settled in my room.
I spent the day wandering around town. I’ve had so many warnings from friends about danger so I was a little wary but heeded advice to stay to the main areas and take good care of my possessions.
Hermanus is an incredibly beautiful place with rolling blue seas, majestic mountains and a strong arts vibe - quaint bookshops, sculptures overlooking the sea and fantastic foods. Prices are cheap and people are friendly. I think I’m going to like it here.
