So today we did the tourist thing. We got up, had a delicious breakfast, grabbed a map of Cape Town and hit the streets. It was a beautiful day (about 32 degrees), sunny with little or no clouds in the sky. We decided to walk to the V&A Waterfront, do a little shopping, see some seals, grab some lunch and take in the Two Oceans Aquarium. As it turns out, the aquarium did little more than make me sad. I don't like seeing animals in spaces that are too small for them and it nearly broke my heart to watch the sting rays attempt to get out of their tanks. While I understand that they are doing their best to draw awareness about life under the sea, i still couldn't help but feel sad - thus, it was a less than stellar stop for me.
We then walked back to our hotel and grabbed a cab up to the Table Mountain cable car and went up to see what all the fuss was about. It was truly breath-taking. The view was awesome and the afternoon couldn't have been better. We did some walking around, took some amazing photos and then decided to have dinner at the restaurant on top of the mountain. It was heavenly.
We are now back at the hotel, full of food and looking forward to a quiet night. We are cage diving tomorrow, so we have an early morning ahead of us.
Looking forward to getting into the ocean.........hopefully we are still around to tell the story tomorrow!!!
have a good Tuesday everyone.
ciao,
