Cape Town

by Jim_Eliason - last update: Dec 28, 2008

Cape Town is a fantastic city with a real mix of cultures. African, English, Dutch and Malay have all left their stamp on this city in a fantastically beautiful natural setting.
The Cape area has a little bit for everyone. It has great vistas, parks and wildlife for the outdoors man. It also contains architecture, musuems and unique cuisines.

 Thank you Jim for the wonderful tour of Cape Town...its a place I have been wanting to visit for over 5 years, but somehow go somewhere else. I'll make sure to stay away from the Baboons, they remind me of the ones in Gibraltor

 I'm always amazed how people from another country knows so much more about Cape Town than me (and I live 40 km from it!). Wonderful tips!

 Hi Jim, really good tips and great photos of Cape Town! I may have a chance to go there at end of this year. Btw, I have recently finished my VT corregidor island page, do drop by and have a look :)
