John here… Today we explored some of the attractions around Cape Town. First up was Table Mountain. This land mark dominates Cape Town and is visible from anywhere around town. Our luck is holding as usually the mountain is shrouded with cloud locally called the "Table Cloth", but this morning it is clear. The hotel courtesy van transported us to the cable car entrance and we were soon on our way via cable car to the top. The mountain is just over a 1000 meter...

Laurel here… Both flights went really well today… South African Airlines planes are great… spacious and on time. We arrived in Cape Town to be met by the transfer fellow from our hotel. While the plan had been to go up to Table Mountain this afternoon/evening, the weather wasn't brilliant so instead Judy and I attacked the laundry (which was much needed) and we just sorted ourselves out. Later we headed into the V & A Waterfront for a quick look round...
