Aquariums have come a long way, especially the Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town’s renowned Waterfront. Apart from the ease of purchasing day passes online, the range of activities one can participate in are enormous! We chose to attend the feeding times in the I&J Ocean exhibit where we were mesmerized by how a stingray feeds. A barista station serving coffee just made the morning come alive! After the Kelp forest exhibit where a group of rockhopper penguins were enjoying their regular morning swim (gallivant) we were told we can stand in a single file in the penguin exhibit and to our surprise, these rockhoppers came strolling past us, proudly strutting their stuff, each one with a signature sound and waddle.....priceless!
We then walked across the Waterfront to go and see the formidable Silo Hotel with its eye catching beveled windows. Our request to visit the Sky Bar on the rooftop was granted and before we knew it we were gawking at our 360 degree view of Cape Town harbor and cityscape, the sea sparkling on the only wind still day of the holiday. And to then see a Barista with Truth coffee topped it all! So while the boys chose to enjoy a craft beer, I had my flat white at a dizzy height, and what a flat white it was, one of the best!
