CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA

by Radiomom - last update: Jun 26, 2004

Vibrant City, Exciting New Nation!

View from the Company Gardens
What TOOK me so long! Why didn't I know what a magnificent place this was! We visited Cape Town both before and after a safari trip to Botswana, and had a wonderful time exploring the Western Cape as much as possible in approximately 7-8 days. The scenery was more than enough to excite us, the people were simply marvelous as well. I'll be adding to this page in the next few weeks. There are LOTS of photos and experiences to post.

We met up with some Internet friends for a daytrip that covered MUCH of the Cape: Daytrip ...there are great pictures of our day that I couldn't capture in total as my camera battery died about 6PM!)

To see the rest of our trip (the Botswana safari) see my Botswana travel page: Botswana Safari

Pros:"Weather, People, Food and Wine, Flora and Fauna!"
Cons:"12-hour flight from London -- after 7 from the US!"
In A Nutshell:"South Africa is Simply Amazing"

 You are right, the only con is the flight! We really (really) liked this country. Like you we are used to driving on the other side of the road but it was not a problem. Enjoy
