Cape Town

Boxing Day on December 26 is a big holiday in South Africa. The beach was very crowded, so after a swim in the morning we opted to drive the 30 minutes to Cape Town.

We attempted to take the cable car up to the top of Table Mountain but the winds picked up and it closed it for the day just as we were about to purchase tickets.(We attempted to go up again the morning we left, but the line was too long).



We went to the Green Market where local people sell their arts and crafts and it is easy to bargain with them. We went out to dinner on the wharf and ate seafood for Tyler's birthday. There were some excellent street performers that would draw large crowds: a magician, a troupe of acrobats, and a living statue.
