Rare Silver Spectre Posted April 13, 2019 #976 Share Posted April 13, 2019 4 minutes ago, mysty said: No Silver we did not visit the Maritime Museum today. The full size bronze statue of “The Lady in White” unveiled in March 1995 on T jetty next to the Portnet offices was relocated to the Maritime Museum on the 27th September 2016. That’s a shame, I did not realise that it had been moved. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCCruiser57 Posted April 15, 2019 #987 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Thanks for asking care of the Whisper. We get back tomorrow evening. Some pics of yesterday afternoon/evening drive, dinner, and, this morning’s game drive which included breakfast in the bush. The baby rhino is only one month old and was about 5 feet from our vehicle. The leopard is male who is 10 years old. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jpalbny Posted April 15, 2019 #988 Share Posted April 15, 2019 That looks marvelous! The baby rhino is adorable. And the sunrise... We did a safari in Sabi Sands back in 2011, and stayed at Lion Sands. It was superb. Looks like your wildlife sightings have been great as well. Safe travels back to the ship and keep on enjoying.

Rare mysty Posted April 16, 2019 Author #994 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Our 9:30 am Cape Town and Table Mountain tour looked to be a wash out as the mountain was wrapped by cloud cover. It was cold and grey. Then......the sun made a valiant effort to break through the clouds and we got a few glimpses of Cape Town. Maiden Cove..... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlemichael Posted April 16, 2019 #995 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Great pics mysty! The day got better, and a little warmer, as it went on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlemichael Posted April 16, 2019 #996 Share Posted April 16, 2019 We went to the V & A for essentials (haircuts, African dinner dress, letter posting) and to the near new MOCAA, the Museum of Contemporary African Art. It's in a converted silo. The collection is a work in progress. The café at the top was good for lunch too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlemichael Posted April 17, 2019 #998 Share Posted April 17, 2019 We had a fabulous day at Paarl in the winelands on the Silversea special event. The food and entertainment, as well as the short talk and the train trip were top notch. I'll leave others to post some pictures but I'll just post two of the departure and the very welcome sight as we returned. Oh, and the list of dress codes for the Cape Town to Lisbon segment has only 2 formal nights and 13 casual. The rest are informal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mysty Posted April 17, 2019 Author #999 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Echoing Turtle's comments! This was an excellent event! Well done Silversea!
