Cape Tour Bus trip

As a family we went on a trip with the Eldership team. It was really fun to do a touristy thing together. We went well prepared and dressed really warmly for the trip. The trip took us from the V&A Waterfront, through Cape Town CBD [up long street] going past the Mount Neslon hotel onto the M3 and we stopped off at the Kirstenbosch gardens for tea.
We had muffins and coffee. It was quite a brisk morning, but once we were still and sitting in the sun it was quite warm. We all sat on the second level of the double decker bus as to see the view and enjoy the atmosphere of the whole touristy thing.

Iraina slept most of the time in the wrap - the gentle rocking of the bus was great to keep her asleep. Aislyn thoroughly enjoyed being with her friend Rachel and they got to have little goodie bags with colouring stuff and stickers. There were little head phones that we listened to as the bus went along that informed us of all the history and information along the route.
Anyway, after stopping at Kirstenbosch we hopped back onto the bus and proceeded to go through Constantia [Aislyn had her nap on this part of the journey]

and then through to Hout bay. Here we stopped to have fish and chips together. It was a great family time together.



We then took a walk along the small harbour there and spotted a few seals. There was a really old rickety boat that sounded rather creepy. After that we jumped back onto the bus and went over the suikerbossie pass and down to camps bay - it was really weird having the 'locals' shout at us calling "hey tourists". we decided not to stop there as the air was still quite cool and the wind had picked up. The bus went through to seapoint where we stopped and let the kids play in the park. Here we ended our journey and it was a lots of fun for the kids to see each other and for us as a team to get to know each other a little more.
