FreakyBlogz: Cape Town (Part 2) - Waterfront & Table Mountain

Day 1

After stay overnight in Vivant Student Hostel, we woke up early in the morning to start our journey. We took short breakfast, indomie!!! :) Using Tomtom GPS as our personal guide, we went confidently to our first destination, V&A Waterfront. It's about 7 km from our hostel. So within less than 30 minutes, we arrived at that place. 1st thing to do is looking for Parking spot. We were very

lucky, the parking garage is available in front of the Aquarium.

V&A Waterfront is a harbour and has a lot of shops that attrract almost

all tourist that visit Cape Town. Refer to the booklet that we got from our friend, Vinit, V&A Waterfront has over 400 outlets, fromsimple barrows and world class boutiques to informal trading areas where many local craftspeople sell their wares. Not many people around bcoz it was around 08.00 am. We took the

moment as an opportunity to took some pictures. The weather was quite friendly, a lil bit cloudy but the sun still shines.

-morning at V&A Waterfront-

A lot of boats and ships in the harbour which I thought a very good view to start a day. I wonder how the people here co

uld make such a beautiful harbour? and off course becomes one of the most fave tourist destination in cape town. We took several shots and try to walk to higher land, to see the beach.

The

buildings architecture were very attractive. You may see it along the street to the beach.

After a while we decided to go to Table Mountain. It is our "must visit" destination in Cape Town from beginning. Even the cloud still hanging and seems does not want to move from its peak, we did not want to waste time. We pass thru all curves road in the city and the view is almost like if you want to go to Puncak, Bogor or if you go to Brastagi, Medan.

Tall trees, with view of cape town city center below. And finally we arrived at Touble Mountain. The view below made me remember view of Bandung from Dago or Lembang. The different is you can see the harbour and the beach from current position. "Subhanallah..." I said over and over to see such a great view. It's quite bright that morning, and we felt that we shhould go up now. Based on weather forecast, it will be raining today. That's why we went early in the morning to have enough time in Table Mountain.
