CPT : Cape Town and around...

Hari last day utk berjalan2 kat Cape Town. Awal2 pagi dah tinggalkan guest house tu... cuaca still hujan... kalau ikut tourism advertisement... ada 6 benda utama yg wajib buat kalau datang ke cape town:

1. Table Mountain - dah buat..
2. V & A Waterfront
3. Kristenbosch Botanical Garden
4. Robben Island
5. Cape Point - dah sampai
6. Vineyards - not interested

so utk last day ni, at least kitaorg nak g ke item 2,3 dan 4. actually item 2 tu dah pergi on first nite, tp tengok waktu malam je.. tak best...

- V & A Waterfront
nama penuh nya Victoria & Albert waterfront.... sapa vic n albert tu.. dunno... its a marina, yg byk yatch berlabuh and shops for souvenirs.. and ada malls (ada 2) and restaurants facing the sea or ada yg tak facing the sea... kitaorg g sana for breakfast :-) dan plan nya jalan2 beli2 souvenir dan craft sebelum g ke Robben Island.(nampak tak table mountain dlm the 2nd and 3rd pic? isn't it majestic!!!)

- Robben Island
Pulau ni termasuk dlm list UNESCO world heritage. Kat sini lah Mandela dipenjara selama 27 tahun (agaknya lah... - malas nak buka wikipedia hahaha). kat sini pun ada small game reserves dan few things.

nak dtg ke sini kena ambik tour (Rand180/RM90) dr jetti dia kat V&A waterfront. aku g sana, tanya about the tour... tp utk hari tu, tour semua batal, sbb weather tak bagus, laut bergelora... sebenarnya dah 2 hari berturut2 tour tu dibatalkan... sbb weather tak bagus... so aku pun tak gi...

-Kirstenbocsh Botanical Garden
a huge botanical garden kat kaki table mountain... sapa2 minat pokok2 have to singgah... for me... skadar melengkapkan list... sapa minat, 2-3 jam pun blh spend kat sini.. aku, tak sampai sejam dah tak sabar nak keluar... nasib baik tersesat skejap2 kat dlm tu.. so lama lah jugak walk around.

but certainly, the botanical garden tu besar and banyak collections... katanya among the best in the world...

For lunch, aku decide utk try makanan melayu cape town... kuarters melayu kat sini kat dlm area Bo Kaap. very famous with their colorful rumah... (nanti aku update gambar2 makanan)
apparently, kalau sesapa nak singkap sejarah melayu cape town, ada museum kat sini, plus ada tour pun... but we didn't do any of that... had wonderful late lunch kat one of the restaurant yg berbackground kan table mountain... lovely... by then dah petang... check in hotel and enjoy sea breeze from the seafront...
