Cape Town is a beautiful city. We only visited one day. We spent the time in the waterfront area. Bill and I visited the Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA). An art museum built in the old grain silos. A very interesting building.

| Grants Pass Oregon where we live has bears, Cape Town has rhinos. I like the rhinos. |

| Tommy the Tugboat is just waiting to take you on a tour. |
 |
| The waterfront is full of interesting buildings and is mostly pedestrian only. |
 |
| Perfect spot for a break. |
 |
| Nobel Square - Statues of the 4 Nobel Peace Prize Laureates from South Africa - Albert Luthuli, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, F. W. de Klerk, and Nelson Mandela. |
 |
| We enjoyed listening to many very good street musicians. |
 |
| Zeitz MOCAA Museum - The old grain silos were transformed into a state-of-the-art museum. |
 |
| They cut out grain silo walls to create a huge entry hall space. A kernel of corn was the inspiration for the shape. |
 |
| Looking up to the top of the silos. |
 |
| The roof top terrace - glass covers the silo tops. It is very unnerving to look down 12 stories. |
 |
| Fashion display in the museum. |
