Cape Town, South Africa

 As you could probably tell from one of my updates I really loved my stay in Cape Town. Its easy to see why visitors to Cape Town fall in love with it from the friendly locals, to the beautiful surrounds, to the tasty fresh food (and cheap too!) you can’t help but like the place. There is now I could do justice to such a beautiful city but here are some of the highlights from each day of our visit.

When? April 2007 (Easter!)
Why Go? Inspirational scenery, beautiful and friendly people, seafood and steaks(!), adventure, for a sense of history
Disappointments Due to a combination of the busy Easter weekend and strong winds we missed out on visiting Table Mountain and Robben Island.
Weather Fabulous for the most part (deep blue skies and warm weather) with a freakish storm which brought a cold front with it

The photos are here.

This is going to be a long post so its going to be posted in stages:

  • Day 1 – Peninsula South, Cape Peninsula and Atlantic Seaboard South
  • Day 2 – Peninsula South revisited and Stellenbosch
  • Day 3 – Cape Town City Centre
  • Day 4 – Southern Suburbs and V&A Waterfront
  • Day 5 – Marathon Day!
