Cape Town is a beautiful city located on a peninsula with high mountains looming as a pituresque backdrop.� The most famous mountain being Table Mountain.� There is a cable car which you can take to the top (closed when there is high wind so we discovered!)or for the physically inclined there is a trail.

Our first stop in Cape Town was at Alfie's house in Fishhoek.� From here we took the short trip to Simonstown to see the penguin colony - "they are so cute".� After bidding our farewells to Alfie we moved to The Carnaby in Sea Point.� Sea Point is a great seaside suburb with lots of bars, restaurants and cafes.� It is also within walking distance to the city and The Waterfront.� The Waterfront (overdeveloped tourist haven) was our boarding point for the trip out to Robbin Is.� This is where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 28 years.� The stark environment of the prison is in stark contrast� to the view across the water to Cape Town.
