Whirlwind in Cape Town

Well, we made it safely to Cape Town on Sunday afternoon and were given about 24 hours to see the sights and enjoy the city while fuel and water were loaded onto the ship for the sail ahead of us. So, it was a little crazy having such a short amout of time, but since I had already been to Cape Town and seen most of the tourist attractions, it was nice to be able to just take my time a little more and enjoy it.


We were blessed to have an amazing spot to come into port at the V & A Waterfront and it was absolutely beautiful!

    Hiking Table Mountain

Aside from hiking Table Mountain, we mainly just did some final shopping, went to dinner for a friend's birthday, and walked around the Waterfront (it is even more beautiful at night)...and of course, when we got back to the ship, we had to have one last "at sea" fire drill before we could sail away!



We got to watch a beautiful sunset

It was a very busy, but fun 24 hours and I was thankful for one last visit to Cape Town!
