On our 6th day we flew to Amsterdam, the 7th from Amsterdam to Cape Town and here on the 8th our first day in Cape Town. In the AM we meet out tour group and then bused to Table Mountain over looking the  city – we traveled by cable car to the top of the mountain at 3300 ft above the city. Interesting cable car  which help 65 people and the floor rotated so everyone got a complete view of the trip. The mountain top was at one time a sea floor bed and was raise by igneous and glacial action 529 million years ago. Table Mountain is at least 6 times older then the Himalayas making it one of the oldest mountains in the world. After a brief driving tour to see the the mountain from sea level we headed to Victoria and Alfred Waterfront a major mall and dining area multiples the size of Baltimore’s inner harbor. After lunch at a local brewery we headed back to hotel for a much needed nap to recover from jet lag. A group dinner tonight at a elegant restaurant Beluga (https://beluga.co.za ) and a fine meal.

Off to the Cape of Good Hope tomorrow.
