Arrived in Cape Town

 

Next stop Cape Town. A 12:25 flight from Durban King Shaka International airport. Everyone has recommended we use Uber taxis as they are heavily regulated and safe. This was 20 minute drive from our hotel to the airport. It was a domestic flight, so we were through to the departure area within 20 minutes of arriving. The flight was longer than scheduled due to strong headwinds, but the flight was on time and easy.  We collected our bags and took another Uber to Cape Town. Our hotel is close to the Waterside and the old Victoria and Alfred (Victoria’s second son) docks. It has now been redeveloped with shops and restaurants, busy with the weekend visitors. The famous Cape Town Table top mountain over looks the city. An amazing backdrop, which was made even more impressive by the cloud clinging to the top.

The selection of restaurants is huge, but we hadn't booked, so we were turned away from a number of them. We ended up in the Quay Four pub, which turned out to be a good choice. Janice went for the Prawn option, which turned out to be sufficient to feed a whole family in the UK, all for £10, amazing. We are enjoying the food in South Africa.

Tomorrow we will start to explore Cape Town. Can't wait.
