Hello Romaine!

Rain is not a problem... when there are happy faces :)

I will be packing tomorrow and I was wondering whether I will be needing my
heavy winter jacket, or whether a lighter one will do... is it just rainy,
or also cold and windy?

Looking forward to seeing everyone again. I will be there on the 16th
around noon, if there are any casual meet-ups for the evening I will be
happy to be there :)

Best,
Mina (Greece)

I'm here already as well and the weather is beautiful so far!

If anyone who's here already is interested in exploring the city together
for a few hours Sundau or Tuesday, give me a shout.

Looking forward to the conference and meeting you all soon \o/

Hi Mina,

Depends on what you plan to do. In the city it is a reasonable temperature
and a lighter jacket will do. But on top of Table Mountain it was very cold
and very windy today.

Casual meetups certainly take place every evening at the bar of the
Southern Sun Cape Sun hotel. I can buy you a drink if you come there.

Good question Andy... WOW travel agency wrote to me that the easiest way is
by taxi or Uber (is this really affordable?)

Taxis are a few dollars for a ride around town departing the Cape Sun
Hotel, most trustworthy is Unioncab. But at the hotel they'll gladly book
for you.
Uber is cheaper yes, but has a bit of a reputation.
The hop on/hop of bus goes to the cable carts off Table Mountain as well,
but I've heard that they only go untill next Sunday the 22nd.

Vriendelijke groet,
Ciell

Hi Andy,

I took the CitySightseeing tour as it took me also to other interesting
places I wanted to see and to have an overview of the city. It brings you
directly to the lower station of the cable car.
Besides the clouded mountain I especially enjoyed the beach with rushing
waves.

Romaine
