After having breakfast, we headed to the Waterfront. We spent some time walking around, watching the the bridge open and close and looking at the seals. We wanted to book for Robben Island but they were closed. No time is wasted when spent at the Waterfront.

After this, we went to Hout Bay because the first thing my brother wanted to do when we got to Cape Town was have Fish on the Rocks. The harbour is so pretty with yachts all around and clear blue waters.

We booked with the Calypso for the seal island cruise. It was R100 per adult (R50 per child). The cruise is about an hour long. I’m the happiest on the ocean so I really enjoyed the cruise. The ocean simply takes my breath away, I loved watching the colour of the water change as we went deeper in and the view of Chapman’s Peak looked like something you’d find at the back of a postcard.

We got to seal island which wasn’t that smelly considering that thousands of seals live on it. The guide told us that the number of seals depend on the season. In colder weather, they leave the island in search of food. The seal’s flippers are used as solar warmers.

The cruise back to the harbour was much faster and we spent some time watching a guy feed “his” seal. By this time, we were ready for some food.

The total time until we got our food was one hour and 20 minutes but boy, was it worth it. Fish on the Rocks never ceases to disappoint. I spent some time just sitting by the rocks and enjoying the waves smashing against it.

After this we went to visit my nieces and nephew (and their parents aka my cousin). Nothing beats being called Khala. My heart melts every time they say “Khala”.

We left their house in time to catch the sunset at Sea Point. There was a lot of locals around and they didn’t bat an eyelid while we were mesmerised by the Cape Town beauty.

By the time we got to the Waterfront (somehow all roads lead there for us), most food places were closed. We settled on some Debonairs for supper and then called it a night.
