11/29/17 - On 11/11, We got up at 6 15 am, breakfast at 7 00 am and met the group in the lobby at 7 30 am to board a bus for the day.  Our first stop was Table Mountain.  It is a mountain that is kinda flat on the top and one can walk around and see a lot of Capetown from the distance.  We had to take a gondola lift up and it rotated  360 degrees.  It was really interesting as it was going up and going down.  There was a lot of history on the top.  We were very lucky because a lot of the times, the fog comes in and of course then one can not see anything.  Our next stop was the Botanical Gardens.  I learned from Manuel that there was a golf type of cart that takes people on tours.  The cost was 75 rands or just a little over $5.00.  It was great because the driver really became a tour guide of the garden.  We then had the opportunity to be dropped off at the waterfront and there was a food court and some of us got lunch there.  Deborah and I walked around a little, saw the town clock and she checked on our trip to Robben Island.  We then took a cab back to the hotel.  Cab fare was $5.00.  I relaxed at the hotel and Deborah went for a walk and did some shopping.  Because of a big lunch, I just had some hot tea and crackers in the room.
