June 6 - Departed J'Burg at 5:00pm, arrived in Cape Town at 7:10pm. Were picked up at the airport and taken to our apartment. The apartment was huge - 1,800 to 2,000 sq. ft. on 2 levels. There were 2 double bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, large living room and large kitchen. This was fit for 8 people - and all for $225 per night.
Later that evening, went for a stroll along the main street - Long Street - which was lined with restaurants, bars and clubs and was very lively.
June 7 - In the morning, walked to Bo-Kaap, an old Muslim neighbourhood with multi-coloured houses. Then went to the waterfront - the 2nd most popular tourist attraction in CT. Took a bus tour of the City Centre and then a bus tour around the Cape - this was very scenic and had some spectacular scenery of the cliffs, the ocean and some breath taking ocean front properties. Befriended a local, Thembi, who recommended 'Mama Africa' for supper - a very popular restaurant with live music. Had T-Bone steak, baked potatoes, veggies and a coke for around $20.
June 8 - took the cable car up to Table Mountain - the most popular attraction. En route we observed some spectacular views of Cape Town. Unfortunately, it was cloudy at the top (called 'table cloth').
The World Cup fever continues to mount as we come across fans from different parts of the world. This afternoon, we take the plane to J'burg.
