While in Cape Town we enjoyed showing them our favorite things to do, and added some things we have never done. We started with a trip to Simon's Town to see penguins and then headed to The Cape of Good Hope. This is where Cape Point is, where the Atlantic and the Indian oceans meet...Incredible!

Kids being blown away in Cape Point...
We did lots of souvenir shopping, we have learned to always try for a bargain! We went to Signal Hill where you can overlook all of the Cape Town Waterfront, and get a glimpse of the 2010 soccer stadium. Pat and the boys climbed Lions Head, one of the three famous mountains in Cape Town...Pat said at times it was very dangerous, only a small ledge away from falling(had I known!). We took everyone to see CATS the musical; we had second row seats...it was awesome! We visited the aquarium, ate on the waterfront, saw Table mountain; we never stopped!

While still staying in Cape Town, we went to a nearby winery. This winery, Spier, is more touristy than most because of some added extras. They have an Eagle Sanctuary and a Cheetah Foundation. The kids loved it! The boys actually held one of the eagles, while Claire just was able to pet some of the owls! After tending to some kid stuff; we moved on to the fun part, wine tasting! Pat has always enjoyed wine, while I have only begun since living in SA. After purchasing some wine (average bottle R30, $4.00) we headed back to Cape Town.
