Today is changeover day - the end of the first segment - so
we have to say goodbye to old friends that we've met on other cruises and
goodbye to new friends that we've met on this first segment. We will miss you
and hope that we meet again on another Seabourn cruise.
The wind is still blowing so hard this morning that the
cable car to Table Mountain is closed - but the tablecloth is still on the
mountain.....hope it clears tomorrow so we can see the flat top properly.
Spent the morning walking around the V&A Waterfront
(Victoria and Alfred). This is so named because Prince Alfred the son of Queen
Victoria laid the foundation stone here in 1860. It is a fascinating place with
hotels, museums, shopping arcades and many restaurants and bars. It is also the
place to book boat trips and helicopter flights...not in this wind though!!

Back to the ship looking forward to our noon day cold
Coronas only to find that this time there really are no Coronas left
onboard...shock horror!! we had to 'make do' with Grolsch...it's not the same
and the ritual has been broken but we have been promised there will be some
tomorrow when the new provisions are unpacked and cooled.
Spent the afternoon sunbathing on deck and watching the
'newbies' come aboard but also a lovely surprise to see old friends joining the
cruise as well...lots of hugs and reunion kisses.
Had an early dinner on The Patio Grill then walked down to
the V&A Waterfront to see it in its evening splendour. The bustling
waterfront was full of people eating and drinking and the Ferris wheel was lit up in silver lights against the clear
night sky. It was a fabulous sight ...sorry no photos as I forgot to take my
camera.
Really wish I had taken my camera because we met John, the
cruise director, on his way back to the ship carrying a large white plastic
deer in his arms...what's all that about John?...we'll find out later and let
you know....and I'll ask around and see if I can get a photo from someone.
