301時尚四人房—開普敦 (Cape Town )

開普敦是一受到高度評價的旅遊之城。Travel+Leisure每年都會票選出15大最優質的旅遊都市，而開普敦一直都在名單之中；2015年是第9名，2016年是第10名，2017年是第8名，2018年是第12名。尤見世界旅客對開普敦旅遊條件的大力肯定。

而桌山，開普敦最為驕傲的地標，更是被選為新7大自然奇景之一。這個過程不容易，自2007開始，從原有的440個景點到77個景點再到28個景點，歷經四個年頭，在2011年才在許多競爭景點中脫穎而出成為7大自然景點之一。
在桌山，遊客不曾間斷，從世界各地來的旅客都想一睹這座狀麗的山。
這張空拍圖，如果有機會造訪，可以自己親眼一見。在著名的Waterfront，那裡有提供直昇機鳥瞰行程。坐上直昇機，親眼看看開普敦的美。

Cape Town is one of the most loved travel destinations. Travel+Leisure will vote the world’s top 15 cities every year and Cape Town is on the list through the years.

On the other hand, Table Mountain, as an iconic site for Cape Town has been voted for one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. This special status does not come easy. The selection process started from 2007 to 2011, which started as 440 sites and then 77 sites and then 28 sites. By 2011, Table Mountain has surpassed other competitors to stay on the list of New 7 Wonders of the World.
This aerial view, if you arrange well, you can see by yourself. Behind the famous V&A Waterfront, there are tour operators offer helicopter aerial tour. Take a helicopter to see the beauty of Cape Town yourself.

201時尚四人房—好望角 (Cape of Good Hope)

好望角是非洲區隔大西洋及印度洋的最南角…錯！區隔大西洋及印度洋的最南角其實是厄加勒斯角(Cape Agulhas)，也是個很美的海彎，但今天主角不是她。就是科普一下 ^__^

好望角做為開普敦最熱門景點之一，她的地位是什麼呢？

好望角的前身是暴風角(Cape of Storms)。因為附近海域洋流的不穩定性且常有風暴伴隨，讓早在14世紀末的航海家們吃盡苦頭。但當葡萄牙航海家突破困難，超越這片海域後，開啟了連接東方各國貿易的可能性，而後改名「好望」角。好望角在地理上，是桌山山脈的末端。
在往東2.3公里處，是開普角(Cape Point)…這裡是人們通常會誤會成好望角的地方，包括我自己 >_<。在開普角，設有一座燈塔(現已停用)。在燈塔上眺望大洋，那是非常難得的美景。光是站在那裡，呼吸著零汙染的空氣，看著沒有盡頭的廣大海域，那是比心曠神怡還要心曠神怡啊！
在開普角下方，還有條小路…這算是秘境吧，我也是幾年後才知道可以下去走的，那裡也是拍照取景不能錯過的好點哦。

關於暴風角，還有個被葡萄牙詩人所附予的神話傳說，關於一位被貶的神祉「阿達馬斯托(Adamastor)」如何盤據在暴風角的故事。為現今的好望角披上一層神秘面紗。若有去到現場，一定要讓在地人為你解說一下。

Before the name of Cape of Good Hope, she is called Cape of Storms. The explorer from the end of the 14th century has encountered obstacles, due to the unstable and dangerous current, and on top of that, she is often surrounded by the storm as well. However, one of the Portugal explorer (Bartolomeu Dias) has overcome the challenge and passed this area and opened up the possible trade linkage to the countries to the Far East, so then she is called the Cape of “Good Hope”.
Geographically, she is at the very end of Table Mountain range.
There is a legend about how a God, Adamastor, been banished and occupied at Cape of Storms ever since and he was described as a phantom who threatened the sailors who try to pass the area.

303時尚雙人房—布勞克朗斯大橋 (Bloukrans Bungy)

有去嘗試過高空彈跳嗎？喜歡這樣的刺激感嗎？台灣最高的高空彈跳為72公尺的大漢橋，而布勞克朗斯大橋可是高達216公尺呢！布勞克朗斯大橋也是南半球最高的高空彈跳點。
在這裡的高空彈跳是由自1997開始長期駐點的Face Adrenalin團隊來為旅客服務。直翻中文就是面對你的腎上腺素，光名字就夠興奮的了。
這裡可以選擇走去看人們跳，也可以勇敢的跳給沒膽的人看，當然費用是不一樣的。
這座橋是N2高速公路的一部份，位於東、西開普省的交界處。布勞克朗斯大橋有兩項世界級紀錄：

302時尚雙人房—維多利亞瀑布 (Victoria Fall)

位於辛巴威與尚比亞之間的維多利亞瀑布是與尼加拉瓜(Niagara Falls)和伊瓜蘇(Iguazu Falls)並列世界三大瀑布。是南部非洲最重要也最多人到訪的景點之一。

維多利亞瀑布的稱號是由一位歐洲探險家發現所命名。維多利亞瀑布高約110公尺，寬達1700公尺，而河水落下的峽谷約寬25-75公尺。這巨大的瀑布所產生的水霧可達300公尺的高處，因此常常可以看到彩虹，為眼前美景再添色彩。二、三月是大水期，也是觀賞美景的好時間。

Situated between Zimbabwe and Zambia is the gorgeous Victoria Falls. She is named along with Niagara Falls and Iguazu Falls as world’s top three waterfalls. She is the most visited site in Southern Africa.

She is named by one European explorer in honour of Queen Victoria in 1855 (David Livingstone). Victoria Falls has a height of 110 meters and 1700 meters wide with the valley of 25-75 meters wide. The mist caused by this huge waterfalls can go up as high as 300 meters, so you can often see the rainbows in the area.

The best time to visit is when the volume of the water flow is at the highest volume which is between February and March.

204時尚雙人房—納爾遜曼德拉大橋 (The Nelson Mandela Bridge)

這是一座長約300公尺，且橫跨46線鐵路的大橋。建造時間長達18個月，於2003年開始通行。這座橋因連結了Braamfontein與市中心，而取名為納爾遜曼德拉大橋，象徵著曼德拉在終結種族隔離與連結各群族的重要地位。到了晚上，橋會亮起七彩絢爛的燈光。南非有另一稱號，彩虹國度(Rainbow Nation)，這七彩燈光象微著在南非多種族、多膚色、多信仰的人群和平共處的和協景象。旅客們會來到這裡，取景和參觀這富有意涵的美麗大橋。

This is a bridge with the length up to 300 meters and across 46 railway lines. It takes 18 months to be built and began operation by 2003. This bridge connects up Braamfontein and the city centre, thus named “The Nelson Mandela Bridge”, which symbolizes Mandela as an important role in ending the apartheid and connecting different groups and voices.

When the sun goes down, the bridge will light up rainbow light. South Africa has another name: Rainbow Nation. The rainbow lighting symbolizes South African can embrace all races, all colours and all faiths and live in harmony with each other.

The tourist will come here and take a picture of this meaningful bridge.

203時尚雙人房—克魯格國家公園 (Kruger National Park)

克魯格國家公園是南非最大的野生動物園區。佔地一萬九千甲，並有148種動物，1900種植物，500種鳥類。是個物種十分豐富的園區。
克魯格國家公園一開始的名字是Sabie Game Reserve，於1898年，由保羅克魯格(Paul Kruger)總統所規畫推行。又於1926年，國家公園法規通過後，將Shingwedzi Game Reserves合併後才改名為克魯格國家公園。

在這裡可以選擇住在Sabie River，早晨再開車進園區，或早早規畫的話，可以直接住在園區內。因為動物們都是自由活動，要一次看齊全部的動物比較有難度。旅客們通常會在這裡住上三天左右，確保不虛此行。

Kruger National Park is the biggest wild animal national park with the land size of 19000 square kilometres and is the home to an impressive number of species including 147 mammals, 507 birds, 114 reptiles, 34 amphibians, 49 fish and 336 trees.

Sabie Game Reserve is the former name of Kruger National Park. Sabie Game Reserve is planned and organized by president Paul Kruger back in 1898. By 1927, the Sabie Game Reserve was merged with the Shinwedzi Game Reserve (after the proclamation of the National Parks Act) and became Kruger National Park.

There are many accommodations outside Kruger National Park. There are 9 gates to enter the park, so you must choose accommodation that closes to the gate that you plan to enter. If you plan early enough, you can accommodate right inside the park.

Since the animals are all moving around freely, it is not easy to see all animal in just one day. Most of the tourist will stay here for up to 3 days to make sure the visit is worthful.

202時尚雙人房—-剛果洞 (Cango Cave)

剛果洞位於號稱南非後花園的旅遊路程上，會路經鴕鳥大本營奧茨胡恩(Oudtshoorn)，於1780年發現，1820年開放觀光。

剛果洞可追溯至早期的石器時代，也就是兩千萬年之久，當中的鐘乳石、石筍、石柱，個個壯觀奇特，讓人對自然的奧妙不得不心生敬佩。每一個鐘乳石都是歷經數萬年而形成，所以進去時，導遊都會囑咐不要觸碰鐘乳石，以免損壞這些珍貴的天然珍寶。當然，同行的其他旅客也都會互相監督。所以小心別成為被舉發的那個人哦 ^__^

在這裡有兩個行程可選，一是文化遺產導覽(Heritage tour)，約60分，二是探險導覽(Adventure tour)，約90分。文化遺產導覽有會比較詳盡的鐘乳石歷史的介紹以及對於鐘乳石、石筍、石柱的介紹。但路程比較短，多是較寬、較好走的路況。而探險導覽這些介紹也會有，就是會比較快一些，因為探險導覽的重點是放在後半段路程的體驗。探險導覽是要有體能要求的。因為這後面的路難走許多。很多處是要側身擠過去，或彎腰，甚至是匍匐前進的。有一處叫惡魔的煙囪(Devil’s chimney)，這裡得動用全身，用腳踩、爬、蹬，用手爬、抓。因為空間小，也讓有些身材較龐大的遊客稍稍的卡在裡面，但由上方的人拉，下方的人推，通常是都會安全過關的。然後這段路程因為濕氣比文化遺產導覽的前半段重了許多，很容易喘。所以在體能上還是要自己做一下衡量是不是要探險導覽，雖然這是最好玩的部份 ^_<

結束後，如果不是跟團，還能自行去他們的放映室觀賞他們循環播放的剛果洞介紹影片。其實剛果洞分成三個區塊。開放區是Cango I，深處還有Cango II 及 Cango III。而影片就是在敘述探查人員是如何發現後面這兩大區塊的，非常的有趣，是非常推薦的記錄片。

Cango Caves is situated on the Garden Route. You will reach Cango Caves once you passed the home of the ostrich, Oudtshoorn. Cango Caves were discovered in 1780 and opened for the tour by 1820. The caves can trace back to the early Stone Age which is 20 million years ago.

Stalagmite, column, stalactites are all worth to see with your own eyes, they are another spectacular creation by our Mother Nature. Due to its preciousness, the stalactites are not allowed to touch which the tour guide will remind the tourists over and over again.

There are two tour options, Heritage tour and Adventure tour. Heritage tour is around 60 minutes and it is a shorter and easier walking tour. On the other hand, adventure tour is around 90 minutes and it is more physical challenging. It goes deeper into the caves deeper and the route is not as easy to walk compared to the heritage tour. Some places are so narrow that you have to squeeze yourself through or bend or crawl through. Although it is fun to experience the exploring of the cave, it is still suggested to check your fitness level accordingly before you attend the adventure tour.

After the tour, if you are not going with the tour group, you can visit their video room which will show you how the hidden Cango II and III look like. It is a very interesting and highly recommended documentation to watch.
