We stayed in a three Bedroomed, three Bathroomed apartment that was so luxurious. Every Bedroom had it's own access to the balcony. Although this picture is blurred it shows the beautiful view from the balcony. The apartment was a block away from Cape Town Waterfront.
We climbed up to the top of Cape Point, and saw some beautiful views of where the two oceans meet.
Day View from the balcony of our apartment.
Later that evening a view from the same spot.
After climbing up Cape Point, we all went to the beach but only Eric and Cindy braved the freezing ocean. The ocean water in Cape Town is almost as cold as the ocean water in San Fransisco. The reason for this is the cold Southern Benguela Current washes onto the shores of Cape Town.
Chrystal clear water. View from the top of Cape Point.
Eric had his photograph taken with some school kids at the waterfront. Most children in South Africa wear school uniforms.
At the top of Cape Point at the lighthouse.
I'm pleased Cindy didn't fall off, as the wind was really quite vicious! Marilyn Monroe has nothing on this child of mine:)
On our way to the beach.
She did it!
Freezing Cold.
Sam refused to be persuaded to go in.
Even the beach sand is as cold as ice.

Candice's (Garry's 2nd child) boyfriend is a pilot and he organised for George to fly in the cockpit. That was one of the highlights of the holiday for George! We arrived in Cape Town at approx. 7p.m. Sunday evening and after settling into our apartment we went and had supper on the V & A Waterfront. Above are some photo's of the things we did on Monday.
Love the photo's .... yes and Cindy has the better legs as well ..... for sure! Love and miss you all so much.
