Cape Town & Dolphin Beach

We went to the German embassy today to let them know that we are in South Africa. They didn't really care about us, just as we expected... Didn't even make copies of our passports..
Afterwards we just walked around in Cape Town, went to Bo Kaap - the Cape Malay district... really nice and colourful houses there. Too bad I forgot to take the batteries of my camera... We had lunch in a vegetarian Cafe called Lola's (Lola, next time when I'm there I'll take a picture and send it to you!).

Then, afterwards we took our lovely Beetle and drove out of Cape Town to Dolphin Beach (the plan was to go to Bloubergstrand, but since there were no signs anywhere on the road, we didn't find it). I'm really getting used to the car and driving on the left side is not a problem any more...
There is a magnificent view from Dolphin Beach to Cape Town and Table Mountain!! And a great view to the ocean.. We stayed until sunset - it was one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen..
We took lots of great pictures - still haven't had the chance to get them in the computer..

Afterwards we went to a bar and had cheap South African wine (5 rands a glass! - that's 10 EEK!)

We were planning to go to the Cape of Good Hope tomorrow, but according to the weather forecast it will be cloudy - in that case we'll postpone it. Then it's going to be a day of museums (South African Museum, National Gallery).
Hopefully we'll manage to climb Table Mountain this week..

It's really difficult to get used to the sun setting so early - about 6 pm. It gets dark early and the sun rises as late as 8 am. So, I'm always confused about the time and I get sleepy early in the evening....
