Cape Town - perfect day

Up early, not really hung over and Lilly (my new physician friend on her way to Uganda) and I head up table mountain. Today is Sunday and also the date of the Cape Argus. The largest (most people) bike race in the world, Lance Armstrong is in town and they have basically shut off most of the roads throughout Cape Town. After getting slightly shafted by our cabbie we set out to hike up Table Mountain. 1 hour later we were on top. Great views.

After a little exercise we headed to Camps Bay to hit the beach grab some lunch and have a couple of cocktails with some other people.

Camps bay is really cool, a little bit of Malibu, a little bit of Miami a little bit of the French Riviera. Beach is beautiful, but man the water is COLD. I ran from camps bay around to Greenpoint a couple times so far this week, great jog with an ocean view.

Not a bad way to spend a day, if I had a little more boozing stamina we would have rallied at spent the eve clubbing beachside.

Rich in culture, heritage and entertainment, Cape Town is all in one place where we can do Mountain Climbing, Shark cage diving, surfing, sightseeing, and socializing with all walks of life. Enjoy some of the Cape's fine dining, and then experience the amazing Cape Town nightlife.
Thanks
