Cape Town

From Aquilla we drove through a series of mountain passes with amazing views of the dramatic countryside to Cape Town with a spectacular mountain of its own.

Having spent a lot of time in our car, we walked to the Waterfront

past a road to, who knows where?

On the other side of the road are two huge office blocks, there are other sections of this road elsewhere, they have been here for years and there are no plans to complete the road.

At the waterfront, in the middle of the café area we saw a sign, “Seals”, walked fifteen yards and saw a couple of seals happily sunbathing and posing for pictures within feet of all the tourists.

The harbour was in constant use by some very large vessels, so it was a surprise to see seals in the water as well as on the quay steps. However, they were not alone.

These dolphins were having a great time fishing in the middle of this busy harbour.

We decided to visit the twenty first century shopping mall at Canal Walk, just outside Cape Town. It was huge, but could have been a mall anywhere but then you shopaholics could just love it.

We have really enjoyed our stay in Cape Town, the people are very helpful and friendly, the climate is amazing and most things that make life fun are really cheap. A beautiful city in wonderful surroundings.
