I enjoyed seeing all the bright and colorful African goods and gave my camera quite a work out taking upclose shots.

Victoria Street Market
The First stop on our city tour of Durban yesterday was at the historic Victoria Market. We spent about an hour browsing the African items and souvenirs available for purchase at the various stores. As we are known for exercising restraint in spending we only purchased one fridge magnet and one casual hat.

Robben Island
On the last afternoon of our cruise we docked in Cape Town where we took a tour to Robben Island where Nelson Mandela had been incarcerated for many years.

3c's at the airport
26 November 2018
3Cs - champagne, chips and chandeliers make the preflight wait in Johannesburg more comfortable as I contemplate an error I made with our booking.
I thought I had booked Business Class seats for our long leg from Joburg to London and Premium Economy for the short hop from London to Lisbon. Alas, I got it wrong and we are facing the long ride in Premium Economy and the short one in Business!!!

Windows on the World - C is for CableCar in Cape Town
This month I am participating in the A-Z Blogging Challenge where I will endeavour to post on this blog each day. I will be sharing photos of Windows that I have photographed on my travels and highlighting from A-Z the places where I found these Windows on the World.
The views from the windows of the rotating cablecar that took us to the top of Table Mountain in Cape Town were spectacular but nothing compared with the visual feast awaiting us at the end of the ride.
