Day: May 24, 2019

After breakfast we went by car to the valley station of Table Mountain. The weather and the view were good. Due to time constraints we had refrained from a hiking tour, because we still had some things to do for the next days. There are different trails with different levels of difficulty. Ascent about 1.5 – 2.5hrs.

The cable car was a good alternative. The tickets until 1:00 are more expensive than the afternoon tickets (20% off with the wildcard). There is also a restaurant and small stores at the top.

After the downhill ride we went to the beautiful V&A Waterfront Marina and did some errands there. From there you also have a nice view of the silhouette of Table Mountain..

For breakfast there was again everything the heart desires. In addition, today also delicious scones home-baked.

We drove through the town of Franschhoek once again. Gorgeous vineyards with beautiful colorful foliage. We stopped at the Big Dog Café and got a little tour at the resident coffee roastery. The Terbodore Coffee Franschhoek smelled like French Vanilla and tasted very good. In Cape Town we are staying in Camps Bay, a neighborhood with pretty fancy houses and a gorgeous beach.

However, we could not enjoy the ambience there. We were extremely besieged by vendors. Even in the aisles in the supermarket we were begged by a woman.
