Capetown, South Africa

Chuck and I flew from Joburg to Capetown on December 30th. Upon arriving we went to the car rental desk to get our car. (Yes, we rented a car knowing that in South Africa they drive on the other side of the road from us.) We had to work as a team...Chuck at the wheel, me with the map. We both felt like we had dyslexia as we found our way (safely) to our hotel. Unfortunately, I was concentrating so on making sure we stayed on the left side of the road, I forgot to take any pictures.

After getting our room, we ventured out to explore Cape Town.

First we went to the top of Signal Hill to get an overall look of the City.

Here is a view of some of the city with Table Mountain in the background.



Looking down on Camp's Bay



These little guys were everywhere we went. They are called Guinea Fowl. They are sort of an icon of South Africa.



Next we went to Camps Bay and had lunch. Ribs, Chips and Iced Tea......just like down home!!



White sand, Atlantic ocean. Very nice beach, but the water was cold.



After visiting the beach, we went to the Victoria Wharf




We took a ride on a real steam boat.....just like in "The African Queen."



Chuck and a new friend!



We had a wonderful first day in Capetown!
