A Tourist in my Own City ~Hop on Hop off Red Bus ~ View From the Top....

Hi Dear Friends
 
It has been a while since my last post.....and so the confession goes....LOL
 
Life gets in the way but, it is time that I mount my blogging horse and share the Magic of The Mother City with anyone who is willing to listen ....
 
A while back I did The Hop on Hop off Canal Cruise from the Cape Town Convention Centre to the One and Only Hotel. It is wonderful to see the City and Mountain from this perspective.
 
Take a peek by clicking here, at that post! It is such a fun thing to do with your kids.



I had my daughter visit from Johannesburg, and it was the ideal family outing for her to see her beloved City from atop a bus! For all the info you need on routes, prices and time tables,  Please click here We opted to do the Blue Route, which is a Mini Peninsula Tour. The bus departs from the entrance to the Aquarium.


 
 
This is what we saw.....
 
A short stint through the City....
 
 


We never see this view when we whizz past at break neck speed in our cars!!!




University of Cape Town....
 




 Arriving at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens...
 



Mariner's Wharf at Hout Bay is always a hive of entertaining activity, not to mention wonderful seafood!
 






Catch of the day... Snoek, of course.....
 


 
We had a late lunch and strolled the harbour...
 
 
 
Hey you, yes you!!!!...get out and see your City...I'm waiting for you.....
 



Please be a sport and leave a message in the bottle or below in the comment box... I am all ears....




Thank you for stopping by...

Live the Cape Town Vibe

PS: The second part of the journey, probably the most scenic, was covered in mist and cloud, apart from this one shot below.... a good excuse to do it again!!!

  2. Hi Veronica, i really enjoy reading your blog, keep up the good work.

    I wanted to share this useful article, it relates to those who travel to South Africa, Please beware of pirate taxis and dodgy shuttle services offered at the airport, there is a high risk of hijacking, it happens a lot in OR Tambo International, http://airportshuttlesa.co.za/traveling-to-south-africa-beware-of-pirate-taxis-at-the-airports.

    Travel safely and take care you all
