Here are some impressions from Capetown proper. First-this IS Capetown (not my photo):

In the background to the left is Table Mountain, and where the mountain range ends in the ocean way back on the right, that is the Cape of Good Hope, the Southern most tip of the African continent.

Ships rounding the Cape:

Beachcombing: Some didn't make it...

...this would make a good sign for a Tiki Lounge :)

And now for some architecture, which in Sea Point reminds me a little of Miami:

Apart from streamline moderne, I found some midcentury modernism too:

Very cool sculpture, like the Witco world sideways..

But otherwise it was a pretty square brick building, maybe they REALLY liked that sculpture?

Here's another one of my favorite subjects, the multilingual signs, here a traffic light button sign:

And now for some local products:

This seems more like a SPEED bar than a power bar. Don't put that in Junior's lunch, now:

I think I better stick to my JUNGLE OATS:

...but but..there are no Tigers in Africa!? :)

And last, THIS product gives my home town a whole nother connotation:

..but how does Colonel Sanders fit in the equation?

Up next: A visit at the curio store!
