Part X - Cape Town, South Africa

In my previous post, see links below at the bottom, I did mention that we both got picked up by our extraordinary host and tour guide, Mr. Graham H. Boonzaaier.
Sunday, November 24 of 1985...

First we visited his BLAAUWKLIPPEN Homestead and picked up his wife Patricia.

Off we went in his Rolls Royce, exploring the CAPE!

Pieter and I in front of Mr. Graham H. Boonzaaier's Rolls Royce in front of Harbour Cafe (to the right) at Mouille Point, Cape Town.
Harbour Cafe (click the above link) was the 1st Cape Town Harbour restaurant.

Here we go for lunch together.

Still remember that we ate the best crayfish (rock lobster or spiny lobster) ever!

 Now we are going from MOUILLE POINT at the top left, to 181 Longmarket Street (hospital) where the red dot is.
Husband Pieter always would climb up somewhere for getting a spectacular photo.
Just behind the ending of the brown rocks, you can see Christiaan Barnard Memorial which was in 1985 still called City Park Hospital, as seen when enlarged.

Pieter did walk all the way back for getting a fabulous view of Table Mountain with its clouds, like a 'Tablecloth' often draping around.
The City Park Hospital is right above the 3rd lantern, starting out from the right.

This was later called Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital
The entire world knew about this South African heart surgeon's 1st heart transplant in 1967!
Performed at the Groote Schuur Hospital where we have been but no photo...

Top left, near brown rocks is where Pieter took the above photos and the red dot shows where the former hospital was. We were riding on Strand St.

Strand St. ends into Newmarket St. and we're going to the red dot where Castle of Good Hope is located.

From a picture post card with a perfect Table Mountain view on a clear day - no tablecloth (clouds).

Driving now through Tygerberg Nature Reserve

Through Tyberberg Nature Reserve to Bloubergstrand for a stunning Table View...

Also Robben Island was visible from there.

Thank you for your visit and stay tuned for Part XI
