I explored the waterfront and found the baby seals again. They are very sleepy and always lay around on one of the platforms. The parents are much more playful and I spent an afternoon just watching the adults catching fish and enjoying themselves in the harbor. I enjoyed my time at the stables and wanted to go on some hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-19 is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/6D42F99D-0034-4DB3-A66D-2F9D122E4D8A-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3539\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/6D42F99D-0034-4DB3-A66D-2F9D122E4D8A-scaled.jpeg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/?attachment_id=3539\" class=\"wp-image-3539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/6D42F99D-0034-4DB3-A66D-2F9D122E4D8A-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/6D42F99D-0034-4DB3-A66D-2F9D122E4D8A-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/6D42F99D-0034-4DB3-A66D-2F9D122E4D8A-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/6D42F99D-0034-4DB3-A66D-2F9D122E4D8A-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/6D42F99D-0034-4DB3-A66D-2F9D122E4D8A-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Baby seals being lazy<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-21 is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/46C6BD6A-2B6F-4A4F-BB8A-4A7E66726471-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3541\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/46C6BD6A-2B6F-4A4F-BB8A-4A7E66726471-scaled.jpeg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/?attachment_id=3541\" class=\"wp-image-3541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/46C6BD6A-2B6F-4A4F-BB8A-4A7E66726471-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/46C6BD6A-2B6F-4A4F-BB8A-4A7E66726471-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/46C6BD6A-2B6F-4A4F-BB8A-4A7E66726471-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/46C6BD6A-2B6F-4A4F-BB8A-4A7E66726471-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/46C6BD6A-2B6F-4A4F-BB8A-4A7E66726471-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Watching the adult seals at distance<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>However, sometimes life has a different plan<\/strong>. The hiking didn\u2019t happen. One morning I drove to Alphen trail in Constantia to meet a group of people that go hiking together 3 times per week. Before we wanted to start I collapsed unfortunately and found myself laying on the ground with lots of worried faces. Even a security guy was there with guns and a big dog. He took care of me until a friend came around to pick me up and drove me to the hospital. So, I checked out the South African hospital from the inside much earlier than I wanted. They took well care of me, did blood tests and heart tests and luckily didn\u2019t find anything except of low blood pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-23 is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/84FDB31C-6100-42EE-B64F-713AB3BF8600-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3543\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/84FDB31C-6100-42EE-B64F-713AB3BF8600-scaled.jpeg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/?attachment_id=3543\" class=\"wp-image-3543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/84FDB31C-6100-42EE-B64F-713AB3BF8600-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/84FDB31C-6100-42EE-B64F-713AB3BF8600-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/84FDB31C-6100-42EE-B64F-713AB3BF8600-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/84FDB31C-6100-42EE-B64F-713AB3BF8600-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/84FDB31C-6100-42EE-B64F-713AB3BF8600-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Views that hopefully won\u2019t repeat themselves any time soon<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>After 2 hours, I came out of hospital<\/strong> with luckily only a bruised knee and hand, which I guess I must have fallen onto.

Despite the ongoing pandemic I must admit the situation in this particular private hospital was not too concerning. Everything was kept clean, there were empty beds and no one waiting in the entrance hall.
