Franschhoek Winelands, Stellenbosch, South Africa

This card is long overdue! As the title suggests, a famous wine valley in South Africa: the Franschhoek Winelands! How scenic to have wineries nestled in a valley that is surrounded by beautiful mountains! Anyway, here's the official website of the wineland, do have have a look if you're interested!

Table Mountain, Cape Town, South Africa

Once again, a stunning view of South Africa; this time it's the Table Mountain in Cape Town! The mountains look beautiful when lit by the dying glow of the sun.

Table Mountain is a significant tourist attraction in South Africa, with many visitors choosing to use the cableway or to hike to the top. The views are said to be impressive from the peak of the mountain. I can't wait for my chance to visit it!

uShaka Marine World, Durban, South Africa

Here's a card from a different part of South Africa; not Cape Town this time, but Durban! This card is from a different series of cards that Sebastian usually sends me, but nevertheless, it's still awesome :).

This card shows uShaka Marine World, a very popular tourist attraction in Durban. It is the 5th largest aquarium in the world (the largest is in Singapore :D). There is an underground aquarium which is designed around 5 shipwrecks, a water themed park, and a beach which has direct access from the amusement park. More details can be found here.

Victoria Basin, Cape Town, South Africa

I have to say, the postcards that Sebastian sends never fail to impress me. Every postcard is just so breathtaking, and this is no exception: a view of the Victoria Basin, in Cape Town.

The Victoria (and Alfred) Basins are part of the port of Cape Town. They were once used as the main piers of Cape Town harbour, but now house the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront. It is still used by small vessels and fishing boats though. I really like this grand view of the harbour with the Table mountains at the back!

Big Five, South Africa

Introducing.... The Big Five: Rhinoceros, Leopard, Buffalo, Lion and Elephant!! They are big; They are strong; They are ferocious. You won't leave South Africa without having seen them all. I guess Sebastian wouldn't be an exception right? :) Indeed, the Big Five were traditionally considered dangerous to hunt by hunters because they retaliate when attacked. They are even more dangerous adversaries when wounded or cornered. Reminds me of what I watch when National Geographic Channel introduces these animals.

Cape Point, Cape Peninsula, South Africa

Possibly the most beautiful postcard I have received to date: a few of Cape Point in South Africa! Cape point is a promontory at the Southwestern tip of the African continent, though it is not the Southern most point of the African continent. There is an old lighthouse located at the top of Cape Point that still serves to guide ships today. I really like the scene on this postcard!
