A quick walk around Cape Town and the Waterfront

assss Cath was going to some tax workshop in town the other day so we caught the train through and I went to kill some time at the Waterfront after I dropped her off.
I've never really done the whole 'tourist with a camera' thing in CT so it was quite cool to try and think 'If I was in another country what would I take photos of'.



What I found is that there are TONS of things to take photos of. We live in such a beautiful city. There are a few places in Germany that I thought 'wow, this is stunning' but generally, nothing from our travels compares to Cape Town.



This isn't anything special - I just thought it looked nice. It's as you're entering the Waterfront.




And looking the other way.




An ad on the side of a building. Noite house roof in foreground for scale.




Just outand about, Waterfront approach.



Signal hill and Lions head.




And then at the Waterfront itself - tourist hotspot.




And again - the boat cruises, etc.



A few more random ones.



This one I took for Courts. The sign shows how far apart CT and various cities are - and she's in Boston - only ......km away.



The clock tower - a famous Waterfront monument but I don't know why.



Our revolving bridge that opens and closes when ships and boats need to come through. Not bad engineering for a third-world country huh?



I popped into a random supermarket and thought I should take a piccie of the meat section. Well, a part of the meat section. We take our meat seriously here.



And just a shot of a part of the mall.
