Sunday in Cape Town


We tried to time our day to get in what we wanted, but managed to be running late
all day. The shuttle bus was running to a nearby shopping center every half hour and
twice we just missed it and had to wait for the next one.

We did some shopping in the morning, came back to the ship for lunch and returned
to the shopping area to pick up the hop on hop off bus. Since we had forgotten
to get Rand (SA money), a lot of time was wasted locating the ATM. Then we had to
find the bus pick up point. By then we were about an hour later than planned. 

Everything worked out okay however. I had wanted to go to the top of Table Mountain
but we did not have time. What I did not know was the bus went a long way up and
we were able to get real good views of Cape Town at the stop for the cable car where
the bus stayed for about 10 minutes. The latter part of the trip went along the
beautiful coastline and we got back about the time we had originally planned.
