When we reached Table Mountain we were a little nervous about the weather and the people at the bottom told us there was zero visability. We rode up in Gondolas that spun around so you had a 360 degree view. It was breath-taking and I only started to get motion sick just before the top.
This is Kell and Me at the top of Table Mountain. This is the point of Good Hope where the Indian Ocean meets the Atlantic Ocean. As you can see, the worker was totally wrong. We could see forever. We could also see out to Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was held in prison for years.
After Table Mountain we went to the V & A Waterfront for some amazing shopping. We had heard great things about all the stores here from everyone we talked to and we were not disappointed. I did get to buy some super cute brown boots handmade from the Tsonga tribe. They look kind of like Uggs and they are sooo warm!
After the Waterfront we went to more shopping at some boutique shops at Kalky Bay. This was one of our favorites. It had the most amazing little girls clothes, toys, and decorations.
You couldn't have a trip to Kalky Bay without some fish and chips from Kalky's. I don't normally eat fish but it was supposed to be excellent and fresh because it is right on the water. Turns out, even if it's fresh I still don't like fish 'n chips.
We were really sad to leave Kalky's becuase that meant it was time for us to go home. On the way to the airport we saw three huge whales about 50-100 yards off shore. We pulled the cars over and just watched them for about 30 min.
I feel so blessed to have been able to go on this trip. It was really a once in a lifetime opportunity. I really loved being with one of my best friends Kelly. I would recommend it to anyone who gets the chance!
