Our hotel offer 1 hour per shuttle service, from morning til night to V&A Waterfront. So normally I prefer to take 12 noon shuttle, no need to wake up so early and all the shops also open during that time.
The history of the V&A Waterfront can dates back to 1860, and is still a busy working harbor today. But many original buildings have been renovated and new ones have been built in a Victorian style. While we are here, we normally hang around and “makan” here. It has lot of things to offer, shopping malls, restaurants, pubs, arts and crafts markets, theatres, live music to entertainment.
We can experience the unique nautical combination of old and new at Waterfront. We can see sections of working dry dock, cargo and tour boats moving through the harbor and the occasional cruise liner enter and leave as we sit and enjoy a meal on the quayside at a wide selection of eateries and restaurants. Actually you won't be alone here, cause thousands of tourists and locals visit the Waterfront daily throughout the year. And we also accidentally met few of our passengers on board our flight. They all from Malaysia too and have 1 week vacation in South Africa. The Waterfront also hosts the Nelson Mandela Gateway, through which ferries depart for Robben Island. Actually we have booked the ticket to Robben Island as we never been to there before. But due to bad weather, so all the ferries schedule cancelled. :( No choice lor, wait until next time lor.
