Back on table mountain again! This time we wanted to enjoy the view on the north side and there it is! The city of Cape Town right in front of us!

 Not being tired of climbing yet, we even climbed the lion's head in the afternoon. After only 45 minutes, we already reached the top and were able to enjoy the stunning view on Camps Bay, table mountain and Cape Town.

This was my last day in Cape Town and South Africa. Since I've already got used to the life here and kind of fell in love with the culture and the way of life, I didn't really want to leave. I will definetly miss the "easy-going" of South Africa, the hospitality and kindness, the diversity, endless inspiration and the wicked food!
See you soon, South Africa - this wasn't the last time for me.

02/11/2017 I used my last day of free-time to meet a friend I got to know in Bali. We went to the museum and to the wintergardens in the Auckland Domain Park and chatted for hours and hours. We almost forgot about the museum which, to be honest, has no logical concept. It is called The War Memorial Museum, but it was not only about several wars, it was also about volcanos, dinosaurs, sharks and birds, insects, Japanese art, ancient tools and houseware etc.  I also met someone else and we went to the theatre, not to watch a play, but to walk around in the hallways and to look at the paintings.  Tomorrow, I will join the Conservation Volunteers New Zealand - my next volunteering project is about to start.

04/12 - 08/12 Another week of conservation work is over - the last of 5 weeks. A short summary of what we die this week in Wellington: we filled loooads of mulch into bags which we carried uphill, we did plant releasing and track maintaining in a Bird Sanctuary, more plant releasing, as-well as some work in Zealandia (see last post) and nursery work. To be honest, I am kind of glad that my time in the project is over because I discovered that construction work and gardening is not really one of my passions. Though, I finish this project and leave New Zealand with a smiling face. Just like all the other countries I've been to, New Zealand changed me and my mind. I learned so much, not just about native plants and animals, but about kindness, generosity and how everything seems to be connected in a deep love for our nature. In many ways, I hold a different stance about who I want to be as a person and how I want to live my life. Looking back, what fascinated me

15th July 2017 My bus departs at 6 am in Cape Town. On my way, I see the most beautiful dawn. I arrive in Knysna at 2 pm which will be my home for the next four weeks.
