Hi I'm Danny! I'm travelling around the world! Follow my posts.

I'm in Cape Town for a few months to experience the best of this amazing place. My trip will be focused on the nature, and being in the outdoors. I'm looking forward to trekking, mountain biking, and also enjoying the local craft wine and beers, and amazing food.

The first place I visited (and then ended up staying at) was Nordhoek Beach. Unlike some of the famous city beaches this one is quite remote.

You can walk for miles here without passing another person, and from the shoreline you can see whales and dolphins.

Later we trekked up to Chapman's Peak which overlooks the beach. Once we got to the summit we had a 360 degree view of the whole area. There is a really famous road that runs up here and people will travel for miles to experience it.

As we were trekking we kept losing sight of the trail and found ourselves clinging to the edge of rocks, but of course enjoying the adventure. We rediscovered the trail and carried on walking and a friend noticed a huge snake in the distance.

I stopped in my tracks and couldn’t see a thing but my friend was now panicking. The Puff Adder was basking on the trail in the sunlight and I had stopped right next to its head!

The Puff adders strategy when hunting is different to most snakes. They will lay completely camouflaged until an animal comes past them, and then they attack.

We were extremely lucky to escape because we were so close to the edge of the cliffs. A bite from a Puff adder is lethal.
