What I like to do when I travel is to try the metro or train. It's a convenient way to get to your destination and it could be cheaper too. Since there was no train or tram within the city, we decided to go to any of the attraction by train, if there's any. One place DID cropped up in my search..... Simon's Town.
OK...I was so excited when I first looked at google map about the train trip to Simon's Town. A part of the trip will meander along the coastline of False Bay. Also, Simon's Town has it's own attraction too, the penguins.

We walked from the apartment to the main terminal in Cape Town. There are lots of train from here to all over South Africa for this station, We bought our tickets and head for the correct platform and chances are, your train would be there waiting to depart. If you're unsure about the train platform, fare, train time, the officers at the info counter would be delighted to assist you.
