Cape Town, RSA
From Table Mountain, we drove to Camps Bay. It is a gorgeous seaside resort spot. We parked in a police station’s lot that was across the street from the building (on the beach) – we weren’t sure if we would have a ticket or a car when we returned, but it worked perfect! We didn’t have to drive the strip over and over looking for a spot, we didn’t have to pay, and our car ended up being perfectly safe and secure.
We walked along the beach’s main road and finally found someone selling USA car flags! We’d been looking all over town, but so far had only been able to acquire a South Africa car flag. People drive with them attached to their windows to show their national pride, or to show whichever team they are rooting for. We were super excited to finally find a USA one for our rental car.
We walked over to the Sandbar for lunch. Peroni girls were out in full force, giving away Italy football paraphernalia for drinking Peroni. From there we drove along the ocean to Hout Bay, turned around there, and drove back to Cape Town center. Traffic was starting to get backed up and slow with people trying to get in to and out of the city before the Cape Town game started.
