Cape Town, South Africa

Cape Town is GORGEOUS! Yesterday we took the hopon/hop off bus all over the city. I'll never make fun of anyone for doing this ever again, it was a great way to see Cape Town. Our first stop was Table Mountain. We took the cable car to the top and got to walk around quite a bit. It was so beautiful, seriously breathtaking. The photos just don't do it justice. We spent a couple hours at this stop. Then we took the bus to Camps Bay which is also amazing. The beach was all white sand and crystal clear water. Its where the "who's who" of Cape Town go, according to the bus tour guide. We sat facing the water having wine and oysters, living it up but still staying in the budget :). The rest of the tour had more beautiful beaches and took us through the historic city.

Today we hoofed it and walked all around the city. We walked through the gardens, visited a castle, and headed down to the waterfront. Once again, so pretty. We'll be sad to leave Cape Town but ready to explore more of South Africa. Tomorrow we'll get our rental and head up the coast. We plan to stop in wine country, then do some whale watching in Hermanus, and go to Cape of Good Hope and Simonstown (to see the penguins).

  1. I was a little doubtful about the propriety of going to the Mammoth Cave without a gentleman escort, but if two ladies travel alone they must have the courage of men.
