Third Day in Cape Town 开普敦第三天
April 13, 2025
The weather turned out to be perfect for sightseeing—clear skies and comfortable temperatures. We boarded the Hop-On Hop-Off bus for the third time, eager to explore more of Cape Town.
Our first stop was in the city center, where we had hoped to join a free walking tour. Unfortunately, the group had already left about ten minutes earlier. A staff member at the tour office kindly directed us to try and catch up with them, but we couldn’t find the group. Instead, we decided to join a different walking tour focused on the city’s historical buildings.
Although the city center was clean and quiet, our guide repeatedly reminded us to stay close together for safety reasons. It was a subtle but constant reminder of the complexities that lie beneath the surface of this beautiful city.
After the tour, we hopped back on the blue line bus and rode to Hout Bay for lunch. This seaside town is a popular spot, and we quickly discovered why—the fish and chips, along with the shrimp, were fresh and delicious.
From there, we continued our journey, getting off at Sea Point. We walked along the coastline toward Mouille Point, taking in stunning ocean views. The walk was absolutely beautiful—unlike any coastal path we’ve seen before.
At Mouille Point, we boarded the bus one last time and returned to the V&A Waterfront. We grabbed a quick bite—a croissant and tacos to go—before boarding the Sunset Tour bus.
This special ride took us up to Signal Hill, where we enjoyed a light snack while watching the sun slowly dip below the horizon. The city had laid out large pieces of fabric across the ground, making it easy and comfortable for everyone to sit and enjoy the view. The sunset was breathtaking, casting warm light over the mountains and sea. As an added bonus, it was a full moon night—so just as the sun disappeared, the moon rose, lighting up the evening sky. It was a magical experience—one we’ll never forget.
开普敦第三天
2025年4月13日
今天天气非常好，我们连续第三天搭乘了城市的观光巴士（Hop-On Hop-Off），继续探索开普敦。
第一站是市中心，我们原本打算参加一场免费的步行导览，但可惜已经晚到了十分钟。导览办公室的一位工作人员热心地带我们试图追上队伍，但我们还是没能找到他们。于是我们转而参加了另一条路线的导览，主要是参观市中心的一些历史建筑。
虽然市中心干净而安静，导游却一路不断提醒我们为安全起见，大家不要走散，小组一起行动。这也让人隐约意识到这个城市在美丽背后仍有它的复杂一面。
导览结束后，我们再次跳上蓝线巴士，前往豪特湾（Hout Bay）吃午餐。那里是个非常受欢迎的用餐地点，我们点了当地的特色美食炸鱼，薯条和炸虾，非常新鲜美味。
午餐后，我们继续搭巴士，在海角（Sea Point）下车，沿着海岸线步行前往穆里角（Mouille Point）。一路风景美不胜收，我们几乎想不出曾经去过哪个地方可以与之相比。
抵达穆里角后，我们最后一次登上巴士，回到V&A海滨广场。我们匆匆买了可颂和塔可外带，然后登上了日落观光巴士。
这辆巴士带我们登上信号山（Signal Hill），我们一边吃着简单小食，一边欣赏夕阳缓缓落下。山顶上铺满了大片的布料，方便游客舒适地席地而坐。眼前的日落与周围景致美得令人屏息。而且那天恰逢满月，太阳落下之后，月亮随之升起，月光洒满夜空。这是一次难以忘怀的体验。下山的路上我们也最后再看一眼还停靠在港口，但马上就要起航的邮轮，和她说声再见。
