00:00Eu sou Lili Douse, e esse é Grand Voyager.
00:04Em esta série, eu viajo o mundo para descobrir incrível lugares
00:08fed com cultura, luxurio e aventura.
00:13Along the way, eu encontro pessoas,
00:16entro o sabor e experimento o momento
00:18que faz cada destino unforgettable.
00:27Hoje, eu vou viajar para o norte de África,
00:30a cidade conhecida para os íconos montanhos
00:33e impressionante views.
00:36Olá, e bem-vindo a Capetão.
00:38Em este episódio, eu vou explorar os ricos históricos,
00:42coloridos e os escritores,
00:44e os escritores que dão este lugar a sua alma.
00:49Eu estou começando minha aventura no Castle de Good Hope.
00:52Para aprender mais sobre este histórico fortes,
00:55eu me conheço um local residente.
00:57Este é o oldest colonial building em São África.
01:01A principal razão para a construção
01:03foi para que a companhia de Dutch,
01:05com a companhia de São África como um restaurante.
01:09Este fortes later came under British colonial control,
01:13e hoje, ainda é usado por o South African military.
01:19Just a short walk away is the City Hall,
01:22where key moments in Capetown's past took place.
01:26Se você olhar para o balcão,
01:28você vai ver a statue de Nelson Mandela.
01:31Esse é o exacto lugar onde ele está
01:34e fez a speech para milhões de pessoas.
01:38Para ter uma olhada,
01:40nós vamos para o balcão.
01:41Aqui,
01:42Nelson Mandela,
01:43deu o primeiro speech como presidente,
01:46depois de 27 anos em prisão.
01:48Ele permanece um dos maiores do mundo mais influenciais.
01:53Clos por,
01:54é um dos dos históricos históricos.
01:56Marcos.
01:56This is called Green Market Square.
01:59It started out in 1696.
02:02Around the area we actually had farms.
02:06This was one of the places where they would sell their produce.
02:09The stores stock everything,
02:11from hand-crafted artwork to African beaded jewellery.
02:15Yeah, very pretty!
02:18É um ótimo lugar para achar algo para levar em casa.
02:23Para o final stop, nós estamos indo para uma das cidades mais famosa das marcas.
02:28Table Mountain é uma forma de rock que dominou a terra.
02:33Nós estamos viajando por carro, e a vista é simplesmente incrível.
02:39Isso é o que faz Cape Town, Cape Town.
02:42Porque se você não foi para o topo de Table Mountain, você não foi para Cape Town.
02:46É uma das 7 naturais maravilhosos do mundo, e a razão é porque é uma table top.
02:54Então, é relativamente flat.
02:57Table Mountain é 250 milhões de anos, e traz visitações de todo o mundo.
03:07Justo em Cape Town é uma área de riqueza e riqueza.
03:12Hiddem dentro de tudo, é um animal que não é uma animada, o africano penguim.
03:18Grant has estado mostrando pessoas a este área por mais duas décadas,
03:22e conhece todos os melhores lugares para ver eles em perto.
03:26Estes penguim são apenas no sul do norte de África, e são adaptados para climas climáticas.
03:32Cada penguim tem um único set de spots no seu chest, que é um único formato de identificar.
03:39Algo de walkers, mas realmente muito bons climas e muito bons climas.
03:43Nós então movemos para o Cape de Good Hope, a rocky point along the coast.
03:48Por centais, trading ships passaram por esse área, como eles viajaram a partir de África.
03:54Hoje, é parte de um nacional nacional conhecido para os estrellas de stunning views.
04:00We have um grande baixa aqui no meu destino.
04:02Over the weekend, este lugar será um grande lugar para ir para o péssitado.
04:06Um lugar para ir para ir para ir para o péssitado.
04:07Isso é o que Cape Town é sobre, natural beauty.
04:11Frente along, há vários outros pontos,
04:14com uma lida de luz, com uma lida de luz, e uma grande forma de montagem,
04:20e uma grande parte para ver o março e a riqueza.
04:24After exploring, we round things off with some fresh seafood overlooking the bay.
04:31The perfect way to end my experience.
04:37Cape Town has one of the most dynamic art scenes in Africa.
04:41And here in the iconic harbour, I'm staying at the Silo Hotel, right in the heart of this artistic district.
04:50We are standing in the Silo Hotel's lobby in what used to be an old grain silo that was built
04:58in the 1920s.
05:00It is now houses one of the largest African contemporary art museums and ourselves, the Silo Hotel.
05:06The hotel is designed as a gallery with artwork from every corner of the African continent.
05:13Upstairs, the artwork continues with everything from sculptures to the architecture itself.
05:20The building is famous for its distinctive glass windows and was once one of the tallest structures in Africa.
05:28Africa has such a rich heritage and tradition of bright colours and materiality.
05:34But I also think, you know, for the longest time, the story of Africa has been told through the lens
05:41of the outside.
05:42Hotels such as ours provide a platform for African artists to tell their own stories.
05:49The hotel has over 350 African pieces on display.
05:54You're surrounded by art wherever you go.
05:59The next day, I'm up early to explore the Cape Floral region, home to thousands of native plant species.
06:07Rupert, who works with Travel Designer, has spent more than 30 years studying this landscape.
06:13This part of the garden is called the Garden of Extinction.
06:16South Africa is blessed with many species, which very small ranges, which means that they're especially susceptible to losing their
06:24habitat.
06:25Many of these native plants here are critically endangered, with only a handful left in the wild.
06:32Close by is the fragrance garden, where the smell of perfume is in the air.
06:37It smells amazing.
06:39Along the way, we encounter ancient plants and pass through shaded forests.
06:45We then reach the garden's tree canopy walkway.
06:48It's a great place to see the many plants that grow here.
06:53We've got sandstone fengals, granite fengals, shell fengals, and much lower down, rinostefelt.
07:00It's a fascinating garden that continues to evolve and inspire.
07:05Next, I'm putting that inspiration into practice.
07:09I'm joining a private outdoor art class, where I'll learn to capture some of South Africa's iconic flowers.
07:16The protea is our national flower, and it's part of a very diverse floral kingdom.
07:22We believe that is like our people of South Africa, and it represents also our culture.
07:27The next thing we're going to do is prepare to paint, yeah?
07:32We start by applying a base layer of color to the canvas with a sponge.
07:37Sometimes it's quite fun to vary the direction.
07:39Perfect.
07:40Well done.
07:41Once the canvas is covered, we begin sketching the bouquet.
07:44And there's no right and wrong.
07:46That's the beautiful thing about a flower bouquet.
07:50It's really whatever you see.
07:52Then we apply different shades of paints.
07:55Please be very liberal with the paint.
07:58Just go for it.
07:59We've got plenty of it.
08:00Okay.
08:01And just have fun.
08:02And you can create brush marks in any way that feels comfortable.
08:05We start by blocking in the big shapes and gradually build up the layers.
08:10I'm taking this yellow and making a little bit of a green, and I'm just flicking it across.
08:16Because I can see that that's what these ones are doing.
08:19We add texture, and everything starts coming together.
08:23Sometimes people wonder, when is a painting finished?
08:27That's what I'm wondering right now, because I keep on looking at it.
08:29I'm like, I keep on adding to this, but I'm not sure if I should be, or if it is
08:32just complete.
08:33Well, one thing you might consider for yourself is, have I reached a point where,
08:37when I put down another brush mark, I hesitate?
08:40That can be a really great sign that you've reached the end.
08:43Art often comes down to how you feel, and for a first try, I am pleased with how it's turned
08:49out.
08:51Cape Town's coast is known for its dramatic beauty, but just below the surface is a kelp forest.
08:58I've come here with an underwater photographer to explore it up close.
09:04I shoot with a trusty old Canon camera, which I have in this big, hunky housing.
09:12And it's just got a normal topside DSLR camera inside, but it works really well for the job.
09:21Well, I'm getting to do something very unique, because my fear of seaweed is going to completely go today.
09:27Yes, it definitely will. You'll be completely immersed by the seaweed, and, yeah, there's no other way to avoid it.
09:35We put on the snorkeling gear and prepare to head into the water.
09:39The rocks are a little slippery, so I get a little help in.
09:43Once underneath, I swim through the seaweed, and I immediately notice how beautiful it is.
09:49It really does feel like you're swimming through an underwater forest.
09:54Kelp can grow up to half a metre a day, making it one of the fastest-growing plants on earth.
10:00It's been a real adventure, and one I won't easily forget.
10:08Having experienced the kelp up close, I've worked up an appetite.
10:13So I'm heading to a mountain cottage to learn how to make kelp-inspired cuisine.
10:19Kelp is one of those ingredients that is, it's considered a superfood.
10:23It's rich in minerals and vitamins, and it's a beautiful way for us to be eating what's growing locally here,
10:30and a sustainable way of getting these minerals into our meals.
10:33Arabella is a chef passionate about cooking with sustainable ingredients like kelp.
10:39Together, we start by preparing a range of dishes.
10:42It's a hands-on process, and I'm really enjoying getting stuck in.
10:48Oh, it smells divine!
10:50We continue chopping and preparing the ingredients, before moving on to cooking a pasta dish.
10:56So we're going to add a bit of oil to the pan.
11:01It's a quick and simple recipe, but smells incredible.
11:06We then take the fried seaweed from earlier, and add it to a blender with a few other ingredients.
11:13So this is our seaweed butter?
11:14Yes, there we go.
11:16Looking absolutely delicious.
11:18Once ready, we spread it out, and add the final touch.
11:23Crispy fried seaweed.
11:26Finally, I get to taste the results, with new friends I've met along the way.
11:31It's a delicious end to an action-packed trip.
11:36My experience here in Cape Town has been nothing but phenomenal.
11:40From swimming around in the kelp forest, to driving along the rough shorelines,
11:45and exploring the incredible history in this city.
11:48There's even more to do every single day.
11:51But for now, on to my next adventure.
11:55.
11:55.
