V & A Waterfront

One of the best things in Cape Town was going over to the Victoria & Albert Waterfront everyday. It was where you got on the ferry to Robben Island, where a HUGE shopping mall is, where lots of food, and lots of fun are to be had. Also that was where we were able to have some Haagen Dazs ice cream EVERY DAY. It was soo yummy!

Speaking of ice cream here was a statue we walked by while going to the waterfront. Interesting we thought.

This is the clock tower right by the Robben Island ferry and museum.

The swinging bridge that takes you over to some malls.

Tyler on the bridge with the bay behind him.

I also saw many yachts while we were there, but this was the one I was hoping to have one day. Do you see the red carpet you walk on to get on the boat?!?

Alfred Mall, I loved how all the buildings looked around there.

Saw this in one of the windows of the shop...was thinking about getting a feathery dress, looks perfect!

The shopping there was crazy great! We didn't buy much, but every time we saw a bookstore all three of us would just turn and go straight into it. We spent a lot of time in the many bookstores within the big mall there. They also had upscale stores like Louis Vuitton and Burberry (which I HAD to go into!).

We saw this statue on the way to the Aquarium (with Table Mountain in the background), it is made from Coca-Cola plastic bins!!! Pretty awesome...obviously he thinks he's number 1!

Here are some statues of very important people in Noble Square.

We had a fabulous time in Cape Town, South Africa and would encourage EVERYONE to visit there at least once. It's beautiful, relaxing, so much history, with good food and great shopping.
