Photos of 1st Stroll Through Cape Town

Here are some photos that I took on my first walk into the city, last Monday in order to clear Customs and Immigration and still feeling pretty woozy.  They are mainly of the picturesque VandA ("Victoria and Albert") waterfront.  There are two foot bridges that must be swung open to give boats access to the VandA marina.

South Africa boasts 10 Nobel Laureates: 4 for Peace, 3 for Medicine, 2 for Literature, and 1 for Chemistry.  The Nobel Peace prize winners were: Albert Luthuli 1960 (President of ANC), Desmond Tutu 1984, F.W de Klerk and Nelson Mandela 1993.  There is a photo commemorating the four great people.  (See http://gobackpacking.com/photo-favorite-south-africa-4-nobel-prize-winners/)
