Cape Town (actually South Africa as a whole) is an experience out of Africa. Cape Town is very much like Vancouver, but also very European with large high rise condos and loads of bars and restaurants on the water front. Plus streets that have clubs, more restaurants and bars, and lots of shopping(my favor, yea right ). The differences being that you cannot just walk into these areas at night but must take a taxi (safety issues) and the wind blows all the time. Tons of tourists, mostly from Europe.
We did all the tourist things in Cape Town and did enjoy most of it. We took the cable car up Table Mountain which stand behind the city. From there you have a view of two oceans - Atlantic and Indian, plus all of the city and harbours. We did a tour of the wine country, had some very nice wines and did the tour to the Cape of Hope and surrounding areas incuding the Kirstenbosch Gardens which was really fantastic. We also went to Robbin Island which is just in the bay off Cape Town. It has quite the history from leper colony to prison. This is where Mandela ans a lot of the current government officials spent many years of there life. We were in Cape Town for a week and did see a lot of the City. Off to Singapore now.
