Cape Town and Table Mountain

We enjoyed wonderful views of Cape Town from the plane as we approached the airport! We had a Meet and Greet service at the airport and car transfer to our lovely guest house that had beautiful views of both Table Mountain and Cape Town bay. We had a light lunch at Oul Moel Cafe down the road from our guest house and dinner at Bo-Vine in Camps Bay with great views of the sunset over the beach.

The day started with breakfast on the terrace by the pool before taking an Uber to the Table Mountain aerial cableway and ascending the mountain. The 360 degree views from the summit were incredible; looking across the sea, over towards Cape Town and the Cape of Good Hope. We ended up walking to Maclear’s Beacon which offered further wonderful views to False Bay. The walk was well marked even though at times we had to scramble over rocks and down precipitous rock steps with the aid of chains! A strange sight was seeing the sea fog rolling in towards the city and the ships disappearing as the fog enveloped them. Once back at the base of the mountain we caught the hop on hop off bus along the coast to the V&A Waterfront and then back to our guest house. In the evening we ate in the Waterside restaurant in the city centre with a fabulous 9 course meal along with a wine flight for Anne. The air was noticeably cooler in the evening, jumpers required.Read more
