Tablemountain cableway was not running in the morning. Taxi down included a stop at the gas station without turning the meter off, and making his trip as long as possible our driver drove us into green point stadion in construction, very surprised when the green point market was not there anymore... We decided to go to Waterfront instead, and there we had brunch at ... restaurant at Quay 5 and took a look in the shopping center and had a glas of sparkling wine in another restaurant (across from green... jazz bar) before walking back to our hotel for a nap.
