Cape Town Part 2 - City, Table Mountain and V&A Waterfront

Some more pictures of Cape Town.

Union Buildings

We then came across this Seagull with a manky foot.  Sick as I am I had to take a picture of it!

We were a bit scared to get cameras out and snap too much as obviously everybody warns you how dangerous it is.  Even though photo opportunities did not come my way much as I spent most my time following Phil into surf shops, so that man with 150 t-shirts can buy some more.

Went up to the Malay quarter in Bo-kaap to go and see the painted houses.  Cape Malay people are South Africa's unique Muslim community, originally drawn from exiles, slaves and prisoners from the Dutch east Indies.

Lovely and colourful...

We then made our way to Victoria & Alfred Waterfront which is said to be the buzzing place in the Cape to go.  Personally I preferred a stroll down Long Street.

View of Table Mountain from V&A

We then went on a lovely 3 hour cruise around Table Bay on a Sailboat, a good way to sunburn your legs as we found out.

Back at V&A.  Anybody recognise these SA political figures, past and present?

Ended the day with drive to Bloubergstrand, the place I want my ashes scattered when I die.  I don't think I can ever tire of this breathtaking view.



I mentioned in previous blog about amazing house we had in Table View.  Here are some pics...
