Two dreams come true in a few days
I started 2013 by fulfilling two dreams in the Western Cape, South Africa.
A couple of days later we were driving near the ocean when I misread the map and we took the wrong road. When I realised this we were too lazy to drive back to Mossel Bay, so we just kept going and decided to do Route 62 instead. We ended up by visiting an animal park - usually I never visit this sort of places, I like to see animals in their natural environment, not in zoos/parks. But for some reason for this one I decided to make an exception.
As if this weren't enough, there was the incredible beauty of Capetown,...
... its wildlife,...
... and its incredibly sad history.
The first was seeing great white sharks from up close. That happened on the 2nd Jan thanks to a 3 hour boat trip and cage diving with Marine Dynamics from Gansbaai.

Then, unexpectedly, a second dream came true: I was able to cuddle two tiger cubs.
