We used the hop on hop off city sightseeing bus to reach Bo Kaap and got off at stop number 6. We wandered round the Bo Kapp area taking photos of the lovely colourful houses, had a coffee at Cape Town Lodge Hotel before jumping back on the bus.

The red city sightseeing  hop on hop off buses have four routes, we were on the red route having bought a two day ticket…..they are frequent (at about every 15 minutes) and good value at about £7 a day per adult.
