Getting back to the hotel from Robben Island was the point in time, when I changed from being an individual to an organized group traveler – the pre-cruise program was about to start.

The rest of the group had only arrived earlier this day; I met the remaining folks in the hotel lobby in the late afternoon … and was given access to one of the three (!!) buses (but only after I had been clearly identified as a pax).

We made the way up to the cable car station and then up Table Mountain. The experience today was completely different – no clouds and perfect visibility. After the trip up table mountain, we circled back to town going by the beaches of Camp’s Bay and Clifton.
