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. |
