Day 3 - big, red bus...

Up early for another run in Drizzle and low cloud. Couldn't even see the mountain.
After more breakfast and coffee we caught the open - top red bus tour of Cape Town. Always enjoy these trips as you get to see lots of places in a short space of time.
Got off to visit the South Africa museum with a great display of sea creatures! Walked through the Company Gardens and the herds of squirrels who live there while Ben and Hannah demolished another packet of biltong.
We then visited the Cape Town Jewish museum which was excellent and showed the role the Jewish population played during the apartheid years.
The bus then drove up to the cable car station for Table Mountain and you could appreciate how steep it is. Well,  Gillie could as she went ever so quiet... Thinking of our walk up there tomorrow!
We then walked back to town along the sea front,  getting splashed by the waves. Saw whales again in the bay. Ate a massive dinner of roast chicken before getting an early night in preparation for next day's hike.
