"One of the World's most beautiful... " a Cape Town Travel Page by Bert_Pearson

A Dutch settlement (1652)

A city very easy to walk through.
The historical buildings are built in the charming Dutch style.

Very cosmopolitant city where Dutch, French, German, English came to establish their colonies. Also lots of slaves came from the East and West Coast of Africa and people from Asia like.

A trip around that peninsula that dips its feet in both Atlantic and Indian Ocean is delight to the eyes.

The Cape Hope Nature Reserve is a wild flower, bired and animal Paradise.

You can see the South Africa's national flower, the PROTEA, as well as orchids and ericas.
