We arrived in Cape Town yesterday. The train trip from Joburg was really good. Comfortable cabin, 2 bench seats, which became beds for sleeping. When we went to dinner, the beds were made, when we went to breakfast, the bedding disappeared. Dinner was soup, fish, steak, pudding with custard and cheese and biscuits. Also added a bottle of merlot for good measure.
Breakfast was juice, cereal and yoghurt, sausage, bacon, eggs, toast, jam and coffee. Lunch was soup, chicken and chocolate mousse. As a result, we had 2 minute noodles for dinner that night.
Staying at the Cape Town backpackers, room has a view of Table Mountain, and is nicer than many hotel rooms at twice the price.
Today we took the tourist bus, hop on and hop off double decker, to Table Mountain. Went up on the cable car to the top, and admired the views. Then back on the bus to Camps Bay for lunch on the waterfront, then into the harbour. An excellent day.
We hope we have hired a car tomorrow. They were not happy about us only having a debit card, thought they needed a credit card. the manager agreed it was ok. Hope all is well tomorrow.
