The Wheel of Excellence
The 50 metre high Wheel of Excellence is located on the canal site of the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront (opposite the Caltex petrol station), offering panoramic views of Cape Town. The current price of R70 for adults and R40 for children between 3-12 years, I found a little expensive for 20 minute ride.
There are 36 enclosed cabins of which 2 are accessible for wheel chairs. During less busy periods, the operators allow couples and families to have their own cabin.

We climbed into the cabin and were greeted with piped music and a voice over explaining the rules for safety in the cabin. The wheel glided leisurely for four cycles, stopping intermittenly for guests on get on and off.
View of our new stadium from The Wheel of Excellence
Apart from Table Mountain, we saw a wonderful view of the new stadium, and the workings of the dry dock. The time passed quickly and soon it was our turn to disembark.
The wheel of excellence will be here until the end of this year when it moves on to another country.
