So I don't know if any of you have ever had a fear so intense that it makes your legs weak, arms heavy, vomit on your sweater 😝 for me that is HEIGHTS, but as we all know the best way to deal with a fear is to face it- head on.
As most of you know Cape Town, South Africa is BEAUTIFUL, but we are mostly known for Tablemountain and our oceans, and why not we do have some of the most beautiful beaches 🌊 in the world (I can say this as I have actually seen many different beaches over many different countries).
What some of you tourists or even locals don't know is that Cape Town has beautiful forests, valleys, waterfalls and hills too. So for Valentine's day this year, to prove to my partner how much I adore him, I decided to take the leap - literally and take him on an adventure of a lifetime. We spent a magical night at the wonderful Villa Exner (which I will also be posting about shortly as they deserve a post all by themselves) in Elgin, it's apple country yall and in the morning, like Sam and Frodo Baggins we grabbed our lil bags, we followed the road and off we went to an unknown adventure.
Firstly, Cape Canopy Tours as the BEST, friendly and professional staff and they are totally clued up, make you feel at ease and they know EVERYTHING about their jobs. When you get there, they give you safety briefs of 30 mins, they explain everything, answer any questions, address any fears (mine being of dying- especially in the face) and also point out where you can find the closest bar once you complete this mission 🍺🍹 Go and have a look at what they have to offer guys, it is totally worth it!!
It's a lil bit of a bundu bashing hike, a wonderful bumpy ride with a 4x4 with the most AMAZING views and finally we got to the very first platform to... ZIPLINE! I don't really need to tell you how scared I was, how badly I wanted to not die or how angry I was that I decided this was a good idea, but I can tell you one thing IT WAS FUCKING AWESOME!!
CHECK OUT MY VIDEO AND GO BOOK YOUR ZIPLINING EXPERIENCE IT WAS AMAZING
