Table Mountain, Afrogem and Cape Town

Friday we are doing a tour of Afrogem and Table Mountain, then down to the V& A, waterfront shops.
Cape Town is a port city on South Africa’s coast. Population is 3.67 million. CT is the oldest city in SA, colloquially named the Mother City.
In 2015, CT entered a drought that lasted into 2018. The city was projected to run out of water, but a combination of rainfall and savings by residents averted this scenario.
In the hotels guests are asked to have 2 min showers. Our hotel, Winchester Mansions is a beautifully restored 1900’s architecture. The hotel provides a free shuttle service to the waterfront and is close to the main shops.
