My luck today with this plane is better than business class trip got 4 empty seats here Finally, we arrived in South Africa The plane has landed We will start the real trip now And because don't know lot about Cape Town have decided, for the first time in my life, to go on Hoho buses You go on top of this bus, it takes you to touristic region You continue your trip and then it takes you to another touristic site There are several buses driving around the city Each time you're done with site, you can hop on the next bus The bus, as you can see, is two levels or floors The upper level is open which is nice The ticket for the one took is $20 There are many lines that buses take, they take you to different regions What's nice here is that the bus company provides you with these earphones That you can use to listen, all along the trip, to variety of information regarding the regions we are passing by We reached the first stop want to visit Which is the "Table Mountain" The two-way ticket is for 320 rands (Around $20) Some people prefer hiking up the whole mountain Which is gorgeous for sure The hike contains bunch of amazing landscapes Its nicer than going up the téléphérique (cable car) But, am very tired today so will not be able to hike up there We're in the cable car going up the Table Mountain We just got there The view from up here is outstanding! The Table Mountain here is currently considered one of the 7 Wonders of Nature There are normal Wonders such as the Pyramids previously, and Petra currently And we have 7 Wonders of Nature Such as the Table Mountain The Amazon Rainforest And Iguazu Falls in Argentine This place here is exceptional You can see huge flat green land which is vast And it is on top of mountain Which is something you don't normally see in other regions! You can walk along the mountain's four sides Each side grants you different perspective view of the city We are now in the Eas-- mean the Southwestern area, don't really know This is one of the sides of the mountain We can see Cape Town city from up here The whole city can be seen from here You can see the Lion's Head Mountain over there Which will climb in the upcoming video, not in this video honestly You can see the World Cup Soccer Stadium far away You can see the ocean And you can even see Robben Island Which Nelson Mandela was imprisoned in for 18 years! You often find this mountain itself covered in layer of clouds Which resembles sheet or tablecloth above table And, indeed, they call this phenomenon "tablecloth" Which means tablecloth (in Arabic) Before we continue with this video I'd like to ask for small favor from you guys Exactly one year ago from this day There were person, whom don't personally know, however he's very endeared to many of my friends Maybe you know him for sure His name is Abood Omari He, unfortunately, passed away in this country Due to car accident So let's give him minute from our time To read Surah Al-Fatiha (The Opener) And ask our Lord to have mercy on his soul May Allah have mercy upon your soul, Abood Omari Although didn't get to meet him personally But his name and remembrance is filled with goodness among all of the people know So, indeed, may Allah have mercy upon his soul nice thing about South Africa is That drones are allowed everywhere Except here For some reasons, this area doesn't allow drones flying in them So will try to fly this drone hoping no one catches me Go back to your hiding place, darling, go back inside No one caught me Another thing this region might be suitable for Is the Love-Birds - How's it goin' bro?
