Top 5 places to vist in South Africa





TABLE MOUNTAIN


Table mountain is the main tourist attraction for all visitors to Cape Town and when you vist you’re most definately going to want to see the view from up top. There are a few options, The easiet way would be to take a cable car which provides breath taking views or if you're into hiking then you can hike to the top. Taking the hike is definitely worth it.Table Mountain is home to quite a variety of animal species, Such as, mongooses, porcupines and monkeys. There is also a lovely Restaurant at the top serving great food. If you're ever in Cape Town i would HIGHLY  recommend going to Table Mountain.



USHAKA SEA WORLD 

Located in Duban, Ushaka is the 5th largest aquarium in the world, It has 32 tanks in total. uShaka Wet'n Wild is a water park which has everything from a lazy river ride which goes through the ship wreck and past some tanks, to high speed slides, and boasts the highest water slide in Africa. It has a large grass area for relaxing, ushaka also has a dolphin stadium which can seat over a 1000 visitors and the seal stadium which can seat over 400 visitors.



KRUGER NATIONAL PARK

You cant come to South Africa without going to the Kruger National Park. In my view it has to be the best National Park in the world. All the big can be found at the Kruger National Park as it has more mammals than any other african game reserve.
The Kruger National Park has 21 rest camps, as well as 2 private lodge concessions, and 15 designated private safari lodges. The Kruger National Park houses 114 species of reptile and 3000 crocodiles



ROBBEN ISLAND

Robben Island served as a place of banishment, isolation and imprisonment. Today it is a World Heritage Site and museum. Robben Island is famous for Nelson Mandela, He was imprisoned for 27 years, 18 of which were in Robben Island. I recommend Robben Island for those wanting to know about South African History and how life was in the Apartheid era.



THE V&A WATERFRONT


If you're into high fashion and up market malls and lifestyle, I suggest you try the V&A Waterfront. It is the most popular tourist attraction in the whole of South Africa.
The V&A Waterfront is located within an amazing setting of a working harbour and has well  over 450 stores, a massive selection of top quality restaurants.
It also has an aquarium, boat trips and helicopter charters, art & craft markets, a variety of leisure attractions as well as world-class hotels.
The V&A Waterfront has a variety of cultural landmarks such as museums, historic buildings and private access to one of South Africa’s essential heritage sites; Robben Island

Barcelona Vs Real madrid Comparison



First of all Real Madrid have a much better History when it comes to the the champions league and rightly so. Winning the most valuable Cup in Europe 9 Times is no easy task, But that was in the past and im comparing the two right now.

Real madrid Seem to think that spending money like its going out of fashion will solve there problems with Barca winning most cups for the past 3 seasons, And yes it might work in the short term but what about the long run?
 Madrid cant keep running to the king of Spain to bail them out the whole time. 
Madrid need to start investing more money into there youth system and for me this is the main difference between Real Madrid And FC Barcelona.

Barcelona take pride in there youth team developement and in a match they have upwords of 8 players that have came from la masia which make the first team.
The only other team i can think of that comes close is Arsenal, But they have fallen off the wagon completely. Yes Real madrid are 10 points ahead of Barcelona but do u see them beating Barcelona in the future? I certainly dont, Real Madrid think if they get physical with the Barca players, They'll be intimidated.
I can garentee you that wont happen - They will just play the galactico's off the field like the previous meeting.

They both have two brilliant managers, Although Pep Guadioula got me a bit concerned when he threw Cesc Fabregas to one side as he came off the pitch - Will be investigating that furthere -
Even though i am a Barcelona fan - I will admit that Real madrid have the better history when it comes to the two sides - With Stefano they were legendary.

If Real win the league ( Which they most probably will) Then well done to them as they deserve it. But not everything is about "Now" they arn't thinking about the future where as Barcelona are. If they are to compete with Barca 11v11 then they'll need to start investing into there Youth.

It most certainly save them $$$$ in the long run and will give them more of a support basis from there fans as they will be supporting there youth and believing in there youth.

These are just my opinions as im sure alot of you think otherwise :)

Leave me a comment if u agree or disagree
