Another thing you should know before you arrive in Cape Town
is a little bit about how to get around. First off, unless you already hail
from a country with drivers on the left, it will take a bit of getting used to.
Crossing the street can even become a task and a half so be mindful (:
Roadtripping and getting used to driving on the LEFT /:
Taxis are a possibility but can also prove to take quite the
toll on your wallet so I suggest public transit whenever possible...
One of the best way to explore
Cape Town and its surroundings is by either train or mini bus. Train stations
scatter the landscape and the fare is quite reasonable. Mini buses are also a
great way to get around and nearly 14 milion people a day utilize the system! The
up sides: cheap, chance to meet locals and they are EVERYWHERE! The down sides:
they can be crowded and sometimes take a little while to get to your
destination. The best way to describe this system – which is something I miss
quite a bit about Cape Town – is organized hitchhiking.
