Cape Town: The Middle

On our first full day we decided to explore the V&A Waterfront, only a stones throw from our hotel it is a gorgeous area of Cape Town, in the shadow of Table Mountain it began life as a shipping port but luckily for us it was redeveloped in 1988 and is now home to local markets, a delicious food hall and so many beautiful boats.

Just have a look...

Raaaaarrrrrhhhhhhhhh...

These are the guardians of the dock, watching over the incoming ships.

But now we come to the good stuff, the food of course!! We found the best food market serving cuisine from all around the world, local, European, just about anything you fancy they had it. We had a hard time resisting it all, but our delicious breakfast kept us somewhat at bay.

Chocolates so good they have to tell us they are not tasters... darn it.

Samosas and spices of every kind.

But in the end we plumped for a refreshing homemade lemonade.

Then we continued our adventures around the waterfront.

Once we tore ourselves away from the markets (and the food) we went for dinner at 95 Keroom, and it was absolutely delicious.

We both had the most delicious meat, H went for fillet steak, rare obviously, whilst I decided to try the local meat and had a platter of Springbok, Kudu and Wilderbeast. I wish I had some photos to show you, but to be completely honest, I scoffed the lot before it occurred to me. It was just too damn good. However we did finish with a chocolate fondant, god knows how we had the room. It was divine. We went to bed very happy, if a little more rounded, campers.
