Can you book us a taxi please?

It was a bit of an 'ACTION STATIONS!. We had brekkie and then it was quickly off to our jam packed day of activity. We took a taxi to Table Mountain with a very talkative taxi driver. We went up in the cable car and walked around the top. I was amazed how much flora was at the top of table mountain. The cloud was coming over the mountain so we had a very quick hot choc becuase we then realised that to get to the tour bus, we had to leave, NOW!

We ran to the cable car and wished it to hurry down the mountain. We then ran down the stairs and ran through the hoards of tourists to the bus. I've never had to get off of a tour bus before and get a taxi. Problem was that there wasn't one so Jo and I had the cheek to sit in another hotel and boo a taxi. We then were picked up at our hotel to go to Cape Point. En route we saw whales mating, went to Boulders Beach which has a penguin colony, Cape Point, went up a funicular and then walked up to the top of the lightlhouse to see a gorgeous view of the point. There was also a sign to the South Pole. I was nearly there!

We drove to the Cape of Good Hope, tried to battle through the tourists to have our picture taken by the sign and then drove back to Cape Town.
