We
arranged a city tour for this morning to give us some orientation in
relation to the city. After that, we spent a few hours in the
waterfront area. Unfortunately Capetown had some rain this morning,
which it badly needs, but not while we are here.
That
meant that the signature attraction, Table Mountain was well up in
the clouds with gale force winds at the top and therefore closed.
There are strategically placed frames through which one can take a photo of the mountain. It wasn't at its best this morning.
We had to be content with this promotional picture.
During the tour, we also visited Signal Hill, so called because ships were signalled from there in earlier times. There was no chance any signalling would be happening today.
At the waterfront, there is a big wheel, a miniature London Eye, which gives an excellent view of the immediate vicinity but the view of Table Mountain was no better from there, but note the blue sky above the cloud bank.
This may be the last blog. I'm not sure whether anything noteworthy will occur before we get on our plane tomorrow afternoon so, unless it does, the blog will go into recess until the next adventure.
