Shopping day in Cape Town

We slept late this morning. Margaret and Lou Ann joined a walking tour of the downtown area while Pat and Jamai went to the exercise area. Last night we all went to the steam room and whirlpool before having dinner in our room while wearing robes! Thought about playing cards, but we were all too tired! The hotel is quite over-the-top luxurious: in-house spa, with both dry and wet saunas, lap pool, exercise room, etc. We were able to see the luxury Presidential suite on the top floor, with outside patio looking onto Table Mountain, quite a bargain at $6000 US per night!?
The outdoor food market was right outside our hotel doors today, so we purchased street food and sat under the trees for lunch. Seating was bales of hay - zipped into a plastic bag for comfort! The we went to Green Market for afternoon shopping - quite fun bargaining for our purchases. Every afternoon we come to Twankey's Bar to get free Internet and post on the blog. We get 30 min free per day in-room, but unlimited at the bar. Quite convenient!

  1. Fun days! Lots of riding around in a jeep looking at wild animals, and then coming back to find them outside the back door to the bungalow. Makes me glad there is an electric wire between them and me!
