All Over Cape Town and Back to Victoria & Alfred

Framing Table Mountain at the V&A Waterfront

As I said Monday, I’m finishing up our early March 2025 visit to Cape Town this week before moving on to our next African destination next Monday. This week’s Fun Photo Friday will actually be a Fun Food Friday featuring two must-try Cape Town restaurants — one for traditional African food and the other a fun, surprisingly affordable eatery overlooking the V&A Waterfront. Until then, let’s have a look at today’s City Sightseeing tour shots:

Cape Town — Back on the City Sightseeing Bus

Ferraris is V&A Waterfront Canal District

It’s almost time for the blog to move on from Cape Town as we prepare to head up the west coast of Africa for further adventures. That means I’ll be finishing up Cape Town this week with less talk and more photographs, most of which were taken from our Citiy Sightseeing excursions. And you may recall that last week I told you the Canal District was ritzy. Above is an example showing two Ferraris, including the original Magnum P.I. car, a 308 GTS, in the appropriate color, of course.

The following pictures include shots from our wine tour, Canal District tour, Table Mountain, and Table Mountain Aerial Cableway, and the upscale Cape Town suburb of Clifton. Wednesday’s article will continue the theme, but this week will feature a delicious Fun Food Friday featuring two restraunts we discovered.
