We slept until 8:30.
It is cooler this morning – 65 degrees.
We are passing mountains along the coast. Danger Point was pretty and at about 10:30 we
got to Cape of Good Hope.
We had a light breakfast in the Coffee Bar and then sat on
the Horizons Deck on the aft watching the scenery. It was beautiful. The ocean swells were quite large. We kept seeing things in the water and Tim
determined they were sea lions. We also
saw lots of birds and penguins swimming.
We had lunch at the pool grill – a Texas BBQ and then went
to finish packing.
We spent the afternoon watching the beautiful scenery going
by on the starboard side so our balcony was a perfect viewing spot. The sail-in to Cape Town was
spectacular. Gorgeous. Breathtaking.
We had a bottle of champagne and enjoyed the sail in. We went up to the top deck to enjoy the last
of the sail in. Then we got on our
jackets and went for a walk around the Alfred and Victoria Waterfront – a huge
complex with shops, restaurants and tourist attractions. It was great.

We came back and showered and dressed for dinner and then
had a last cocktail in Horizons with Joseph, Ernesto, and Kelvin.

We met Marsha and Larry for dinner in Prime 7 with Chef Jonathan for his 35th birthday – they won this at the staff fund auction. We had a great time.

We decided to go to bed about 10 instead of continuing to
party in the city. We finished packing and
put our bags out in the hallway. We
relaxed and went to bed and scheduled our wake-up for 7 in the morning – our
last day on the SS Silver Sea Voyager.
We have traveled 8,000 miles on this ship and it has been a
wonderful adventure. Tomorrow we explore
Cape Town, South Africa.
