Hi all, An hour ago I arrived in Cape Town, in the rain! People with happy faces in the rain. Even while it is dark here, the Table Mountain in full dark is extremely beautiful thanks to the clouds behind it. The staff of the hotel is exited for all you to come next week! Welcome all to South Africa!

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/ Best Charlie On 14 Jul 2018 00:10, "Mina Theofilatou" <saintfevrier(a)gmail.com> wrote: 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) On Fri, 13 Jul 2018, 23:24 Romaine Wiki, <romaine.wiki(a)gmail.com> wrote:

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?) On Sat, 14 Jul 2018, 21:22 Andy Mabbett, <andy(a)pigsonthewing.org.uk> wrote:

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.

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.

Yes, the cable car is closed for annual maintenance from Mon 23 July to 5 August, so do not delay your visit until after Wikimania. https://www.tablemountain.net/blog/entry/cableway-announces-2018-annual-mai… Kerry Sent from my iPad On 14 Jul 2018, at 9:55 pm, Romaine Wiki <romaine.wiki(a)gmail.com> wrote: 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.
