After visiting the Cape Peninsula yesterday, we were going to spend the day in Cape Town today. We enjoyed a relaxed morning, had breakfast, and got ready. We walked to the City Sightseeing Cape Town office to find out about the walking tours in the city.
We walked to Green Market Square to join the Historic City Tour 🔗 at 11:00 AM, and we had lunch at Shwarma Cafe on the way back to Green Market Square.
After lunch, we joined the District Six Walking Tour 🔗 at 2:00 PM and followed that up with the Bo Kaap Walking Tour 🔗 at 4:00 PM.
We took a taxi to the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront in the evening. We could see the sun setting behind Table Mountain in the distance.
We saw the Cape Wheel, a giant observation wheel that offers a spectacular 360-degree panoramic view of Cape Town from the vibrant V&A Waterfront precinct.
This was the oldest working harbour in the Southern Hemisphere; we strolled around taking in the sights and sounds.
We also saw the Swing Bridge in action, which connects the Clock Tower precinct to the rest of the Waterfront for pedestrians and rotates to allow marine traffic to pass through into the harbour.
We picked up a couple of burgers for dinner from Tom & - Burger & Wing Shack and sat around the waterfront. After that, we took a taxi back to the hotel.
This was our last day in Cape Town, and our return journey home would start the next day taking us to Mumbai via Johannesburg and Addis Ababa.
