We are on our way to Cape Town and have spent the whole day traveling. Arrive in Cape Town late and we are happy to be in our guest house. The morning dawns bright & clear but much cooler than we are used to. Cape Town is a beautiful city, the harbor has all been redeveloped with a ton of shops & restaurants. The restaurants are right up our alley, shopping not so much. We ride the hop on hop off bus and because the day is clear we go up Table Mountain. The view from the top is spectacular and we spend the afternoon hiking the table top. At times the sights were covered with the table cloth (cloud) but every once in a while it would clear and we could see the harbor and the city.

We visited District 6 Museum which is a reminder of what happened to some of the residents of a whole district that were displaced during apartheid. The pictures tell a story of a close community that is torn apart by policy. This is a wonderful city with a great history, some of it very sad but all of it interesting.

We ventured to Camps Bay and to Sea Point and had a wonderful walk along the sea wall. There is a huge park all along the waterfront and kids play football and everyone walks their dogs. It goes for miles and is a wonderful way to burn off lunch. The city has beautiful botanical gardens and we spent a couple of hours there. We have had wonderful seafood, and coupled with amazing South African wine, we are happy. All the seafood is cooked in at least a pound of butter but the Tums come in handy.

We arrange for a car and we are off tomorrow for The Cape.
