Day 200 Cape Town, South Africa

 

My how time flies….  Have I really been on this ship for 200 days already???  That means there are only 3 weeks left before I return home to Chesapeake, Virginia.  Oh well….  There are still 3 weeks left to explore the world.  Today was pretty straight forward.  Since we had to be back to the ship for immigration inspection at 3:00, we decided to just do a short tour up to the top of Table Mountain, the iconic symbol of Cape Town.  This was also selected as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature.  We were fortunate this morning since the mountain wasn’t shrouded in clouds as it is quite often.  We took a taxi to the cable car entrance and up we went….  What a view!  I was up here in 2009 and the view is still breathtaking.  We hiked around a bit, taking in the views for a while before hitting the café for a drink and snack, and then made our way down the mountain.  It was back to the ship to finish out the day….  Wonderful day!!!
