A Trip to the Waterfront

A Trip to the City
The Virginia and Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town is a must see for any tourist who comes here. fFramed by the square jawed Table Mountain, this sprawling waterfront is a shoppers delight, a gourmet;s drean and the place to hop on the ferry to visit Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was jailed for too many years. It is also a place where local crafters aim to get a spot to showcase their goods to the thousands of people who pass through the Waterfront. Our class trip there was such fun but I noted their excitement when they came to Nobel Square and saw the bust of Nelson Mandela, one of four Nobel Peace Prizer laureates from South Africa.
At the class stalls this July graduating class had he chance to see beautiful goods and ask the vendors about them.


An unexpected bonus was a five minute ferry ride from one side of the Waterfront to the other because the floating bridge was not available because of extensive repairs being done to the complex. Evangeline Ministries wants each class to have memorable experiences and the students, most of whom had never visited to the Waterfront before enjoyed it all.
