After crashing at 3:00am local time (8:00pm EST) I woke up rested and ready to venture out for the first time. This part of Cape Town is very westernized and is a hot spot for tourists. The Table Bay Hotel is connected to a large mall and the waterfront district is full of restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and shoppes. The hotel cafe has an amazing view of Table Top Mountain (named for its flat top) and today is about 100F which is very hot for this area.
In the photos you have a nice view of Table Top Mountain, the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront district, and a ferris wheel which arrived for the 2010 FIFA World Cup and has stayed. Yes the cars on the ferris wheel are air conditioned! Seals are very people friendly and crowd the bay area to feed from the local fishermans catch. I was able to catch some local singers performing on video. Love the harmonies!
Cocktail cruise around the harbor tonight and a BBQ on the beach. More to blog after that!

WOW!
So cool! I especially loved the bathing seals. Did they really let you get that close? And for the record......I totally thought "Legos" when I saw that picture! Love you and miss you sooooooo much!
