The first days Capetown

After being quite relaxed on the first day and only visiting the mall, we did some sightseeing on the first real day. Before that, we visited an old acquaintance of my mother, whom she hasn't seen for 40 years. From her balcony, we saw dolphins 😍. To explore the city, there are red buses here, as in many big cities, where you can get on and off as you like and get headphones to receive more information about things you pass during the ride. There are different routes here, and on that day, we took the blue tour. It took us briefly through the city center, past District 6, which was a musician district before the time of apartheid and was simply destroyed. The bus then continued to the botanical garden and various beaches. On the way back from the city, we saw pelicans and flamingos. Yesterday, we did the red and yellow tours. The yellow one is a shorter tour but takes you through the city to many churches and other significant buildings. The red tour then took us up to the cable car of Table Mountain. However, it was a bit cloudy yesterday, so we didn't want to go up. We had a wonderful lunch snack at Camp Bay. Unfortunately, here in Cape Town, you can only be in the water for a short time or better with a wetsuit, as it is only 9 degrees here in the summer due to certain currents and meltwater. Since we booked a two-day ticket, a small harbor cruise was included in the price. It was very nice to see everything from the water and also a lot of seals up close. On the way back to the accommodation, we stopped at the beach, which is not far from our accommodation. There were hundreds of kite surfers. You could watch them for hours, doing all kinds of tricks. Maybe I'll also go to the North Sea and take a course. In the evening, we tried to watch the sunset, but the sun was partly hidden behind clouds. Today, we will start the day very relaxed and maybe go to the aquarium.
