City Hall
Edward VII statue in front of City Hall
At the entrance of the VOC (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie, or Dutch East Indies Company) castle grounds. Technically it's more of a fort, but as a fort, it never really came under attack.
Castle gateway
The inner courtyard, with Table Mountain as a backdrop.
This sundial was used by people to know when to gather for events. I think. I can't remember much of what the guide said.
The veranda on which the governor would welcome his guests, or make announcements.
Fountain on the grounds.
Some messages etched into the doors by prisoners in the cells.
There is a message on this door that basically says this "In the 61st regiment there is a man who robs poor prisoners when'er he can. PAUL SPENCER is his name... I know him well. He robbed me of a dollar." Hilarious. But poor sod.
On the way down to a dark and dingy dungeon.
Soldiers recreating a march pass when the noon gun is fired.
District Six Museum
St. George Cathedral
Some random abstract art piece I saw at the state art museum.
Examples of San rock art at the museum. It was a great museum visit.
Some gigantic skeleton of a blue whale (or something to that effect. I can't remember exactly what whale it was.)
