What did you do this weekend?
Boulders Beach, South Africa
On the far left is a close friend, Alida Moore! She has been living in South Africa for a few months. Alida gave me a few recommendations of places/things to do/see while visiting South Africa.
Here is what Alida said about Boulders Beach, “A must see are the penguins at Boulder Beach in Simon’s Town (about a 45 minute train ride from Cape Town). The train goes right along the shore and if you time it just right, you can watch the sunset over the ocean. There are plenty of hostels in the area where you can stay the night and then the next morning head over to Boulder Beach to swim with the penguins! (It’s only 40 R to get in – about $5). On your way back from the beach you should stop at the Tibetan Tea House for delicious chai, a calming atmosphere, and great food.”

Zanzibar, Tanzania!!
Some fun things to do while your in Zanzibar are a spice tour, explore Stone Town, and Prison Island (20-30 minute boat ride)!!
I guess you can do all of these excursions, but MY RECOMMENDATION would be to sit back, soak up some of that much needed Vitamin C from the sun, and enjoy the surreal views of the ocean.
Zanzibar by day, and Zanzibar by night…BOTH BEAUTIFUL!
