Capetown and it's vicinity

The first few pictures are of the Capetown two bridges we had to come through to get to our berth. Then a few of the V & A Waterfront  Marina.  After Christmas our friends Tom & Susi took us on a day trip around  the peninsula . So this is part of the day.
This is it he first  bridge that had to be opened to get through. It's  a swing bridge.
 
 The second  is called the bascule  bridge. Once through you are in the marina heading for your berth.
These are all part of the Waterfront . The one ahead is the the food market.
The Alfred Mall with the big ferries wheel  in the back ground.
The fishing fleet.
Restaurants along the outside of the Alfred Mall.

Looking out at Table Mountain from our boat.

Cloud moving over the mountain is called the table cloth.
Tom and Susi.
We came around the Cape of Good Hope  to get to Capetown.  Once we rounded the Cape we knew we had made it.
Monkeys encountered during our drive.
The male decided  to take a nap in the middle of the road. No worries. And no moving.
Waves breaking on the rocks.  It was very windy  that day .
Showing the large kelp that is every where along the shore line.
This is looking up at the lighthouse. We took the rail car up and then walked down.
