Cape Town, Pt. 3

The “Cape Town” sign was a vestige of the night before. Next day, Alan, Gabe, & I set off on a walk-about. We went through the Natural History Museum, the Art Gallery, and walked through some gardens visiting other government buildings.

This first batch shows some statuary, park critters, and ends with an exterior view of the South Africa “Iziko” Natural Science Museum

Diving into the Natural Sciences! The old, the new, rocks, bones, and the art of taxidermy

Then, we went to the Iziko South African National Art Gallery. The eclecticism was enjoyable…!

This batch features some Cape Town architecture, another meaty lunch, shopping for African masks and other souvenirs in the Green Market Square. And I got a hair cut (which can include the menu at the end!). I liked the deco, but prefer the others. Note John, who sold me some stuff. And the masks I believe are genuinely old (perhaps not antique) and represent different countries (stylewise) around Africa…

For dinner, the last of us met at “Mama Africa” restaurant. Check out the tasting menu: pairing kudu & springbok with two local red wines, and other African items with two local white wines…

Here’s another batch of photographs from my fellow travelers shared on WhatsApp…

Only one day left in Africa…
