We started out the day with a bus ride with through city center and some touristy highlights before climbing up to Table Mountain National Park. It was a very windy morning and the Aerial Cableway (cable car) to the top of Table Mountain was not operating. Thus, we were able to spend more time exploring the Table Mountain range which includes the Table Mountain National park, Signal Hill and Lion's Head.

Bo-Kaap :
We were delighted to have a stop at Bo-Kaap, known as the Malay Quarter and a multicultural neighborhood. It's famous for brightly colored houses and coble stoned streets at the foot of Signal Hill.
