Tourist again

Now that the Congress is over I have a couple of days to be a tourist again. Before Lindsay flew out five of us (Lindsay, Owen (son) Brie (Owen’s wife) and a Welsh friend of theirs) took a sail on a large catamaran. We saw thousands of Cape Fur Seals, Southern Right Whales, dolphins, one lone penguin, and countless birds, as well as getting terrific views of Cape Town from the sea. We had hoped to go up the cable car to the top of Table Mountain today, but once again it was closed because of high winds. This was also true on the day off last Thursday and when we played tourist on the 15th as well. I am beginning to worry it will be that way until I leave!
  The upper picture taken off Green Point shows how Table Mountain dominates the city, and forms the "Bowl" of the downtown.  At the right is new stadium on Green Point built for the World Cup.
