CHAPTER #29.......around the world

My AFRICAN TRIP was one of my favorite "adventures".........This view of CAPE TOWN AFRICA....... from the ride up to Table Mountain......tells it all.  Cape Town's natural beauty.....soaring cliffs that tumble down to the ivory beaches of the Atlantic coast and a skyline presided over by majestic Table Mountain........usually covered by a white table cloth of white clouds........  The unlikely mix of cultures began commingling as far back as the 17th century,,,,,,
I knew very little about the interesting city.....other than the problems the famous and wonderful 'MANDELLA' was having trying to change things for the better.  Sad to hear and see how the black people were treated by the white people.  I enjoyed the colony of Penguins south of town and the cute monkeys along the road to the mountain top. Of course, I can't neglect mentioning one of favorite places the bustling Victoria & Alfred Waterfront on the Harbor, the most visited site on the continent..... They have many small and very different or unique venues for shopping and eating.
Ann and I spent a great week there  after our 21 day cruise down the African coast........before heading to Johannasburg and flew home.
