Birthday at the Cape Town Waterfront

Yesterday was Amanda's 14th birthday. She wanted to visit the Waterfront in Cape Town, so we took her on the weekend and picked up two of her siblings to join us. We all had a lovely time even if everything didn't go according to plan. We walked around, visited the Food Market, and ate at Meloncino, an elegant Italian restaurant with a view of the water and Table Mountain. The food was good and the service friendly, but it was pricy.

There are two iconic buildings in the photos. The Arts and Crafts-style Old Port Captain's Building was built in 1904, and the Victorian Gothic-style Clock Tower was built in 1882.

A Bird of Prey and a Sailboat

We went for a short drive in the early evening while visiting the West Coast. We saw this black-shouldered kite with its kill on a fence post. Hubby stopped the car so I could take photos through the open window. The kite is gray and white with a black shoulder patch, and its eyes are red.

We also saw this sailboat against the gray clouds. The tortoise crossing sign is a reminder to drive slowly.

Visiting Velddrif - Part 3

We had all four kids with us on our day outing to Velddrif. We picked up groceries in town and searched for a spot along the beach to have a picnic. The spot we found was perfect! After our picnic, we drove to Port Owen. Amanda played mini-golf with her dad. Samantha and I sat at a bench in the shade of a tree and watched them. Jessica and Jeremiah sat at Poetic License Gin Distellery and had drinks. All around, it was a lovely day.
