We decided to have a trip into Cape Town today to visit the Waterfront. It was very busy with locals and the Queen Mary 2 had recently docked –

.

She carries just over 2.5K passengers and 1.5K crew members. Unfortunately due to the high winds the cable car up Table Mountain was’t running –

.

The girls volunteering for the equivalent to out Dogs Trust were out chatting to the public –

.

Everyone was entertained by the steel band –

.

We then went into the Mall to our favourite restaurant for lunch –

.

Tempura fried vegetables and fish cakes (not shown) that were delicious –

.

We visited the amazing –

.

Which has recently been refurbished. Very difficult to take photographs through glass but her are a few of our friends –

The Moray Eel who doesn’t seemed to have moved since last year! –

.

A lobster –

.

And a ray laughing at everyone –

.

A bit harsh on jellyfish –

.

This is a photograph of a turtle going through a CT scanner –

.

One of the tanks with various species swimming around – (This is an attempt to insert a video and it does work if you’re patient) –

.

Then off to the market for a potter –

.

This guy is made entirely from recycled flip flops –

.

Not quite sure what this instrument is but the sound it emits is about as lively as any Lennard Cohen song –

.

Another great day. Warm, sunny and blue skies –

.
