BEING TOURISTS

So we had the best fun being tourists.  We visited Table Mountain.  The last time I went up Table Mountain I was 7 and it was in the old cable car with open windows, actually it had no windows.  It is really beautiful up there, I love the way it is unspoilt well as unspoilt as it can be with thousands of tourists walking all over her daily.  The big shock was paying R20 for a coke, and not even a can in a cup.  Shew South Africa are you ripping off the tourists????




So en route to Table Mountain we did the touristic route via Chapman's Peak, it is so beautiful I forgot how amazing it is.  I loved that the locals would ride up or run up and also haaaaaaa in awe.

The old cable car
The new cable car - these have a floor that turns so you do 180 degree turn whilst going up.
 You  can see the soccer stadium used in the Fifi World Cup in 2010

 A Dassie or Rock Hyrax - they bite

Then we trundled of to the Waterfront for lunch and onto the aquarium which the kids just love.




A great shot of Table Mountain.



 How cool are these unborn baby sharks
