I have to admit that I really enjoyed Cape Town. I loved the hotel we stayed in and I enjoyed looking at Table Top Mountain every day. Although we were warned about the crime in the area, we were told it was safe to walk around the area as long as we paid attention to our appearance and our surroundings. We rode the cable car up to the top of Table Top mountain. It was really spectacular. The little furry animals on the side of the top of the mountain are called dassies – or rock hyraxes.
We went to a city park in Cape Town and then around the city proper. We stopped at the Wharf as well, which was close to our hotel, so spent several days exploring that area.
One of our last nights in Cape Town, we went out to eat at a wonderful restaurant called Gold Restaurant. It wasn’t just good African food, it was an EXPERIENCE. Our faces were painted…we all had a drumming lesson for about 30 minutes and there was lots of good African music and dancing.
