Growing Hospitality Tent Camp on the Green Point Common and old Stadium site

                    The first hospitality tent on the old Green Point Stadium site was put up today

Seven Seas Voyager All suite cruise ship  leaves Cape Town

See how I first captured her leaving the V&A Waterfront  here

That was in 2007 with my first camera

my beloved Point and Shoot Canon PowerShot S3 IS

which sadly died a grewsome camera death

  I had replaced it with the Canon PowerShot S5 IS

and it died of a broken heart

A blue exploding flower of light in the Cape town stadium The night before and the day after

I kept seeing red and blue explosions of light and tried to capture it

Could only catch one  I have no idea what was going on

The facade looks like an interesting collection of dirty patchwork

at the moment

Note on the left hand side of this photo the roof  frames of more tents !

It is steadily growing and must be for the World Cup It looks like it is going to be

 a huge tented camp !

Misty days are back and the mist tends to linger most of the day

Lots was going on at the stadium and Green Point Common, lots to see .

Just arrived in Cape Town: Seven Seas Voyager waits for the pilot to arrive

while giving the passengers a good view of the new World Cup Stadium

Green Point Urban Park in Cape Town

SSV Victoria

Its always interesting to watch the traffic passing Robben island

and when I saw the Seven Seas Voyager passing I drove to the Waterfront to capture her docking

since I had to do my weekly shopping anyway

Here she comes and its a tight fit

there were loads of people watching

even though we get plenty of cruise ships this is a big one

Seven Seas Voyager is a cruise ship for Regent Seven Seas Cruises.  Every cabin on board is a suite with a balcony. In 2006, a Forbes.com article listed the Asia leg of the Voyager's world cruise as the most expensive cruise in the Asia region
