Cape of Storms

by cleocat - last update: Apr 26, 2006

The most beautful city in the world

Sunset over Camps Bay
In the years that people like Dias were travelling the seas to discover
new countries the Cape was called the "Cape of Storms" .

Cape Town has very interesting weather patterns. Most of the time it is warm and sunny but when the "Suidoos" starts blowing you have to hold onto everything you own.

Table mountain is the best example of this unpredictable weather Cape town experiences.
The one minute it's open and beautiful and the next minute the misty clouds come blowing in.
Within minutes a white tablecloth lies over the top of the mountain.

But doesn't matter how bad the weather there is always something to do.
View over the city
A big world city framed by the mountain on the one side and the ever changing ocean on the other side.
V&A waterfront

Victoria and Alfred waterfront

Very commersialised and expensive but a total treat. I love the atmosphere and energy.

Pros:"Beautiful, slower than Johannesburg; the mountain; waterfront; wine farms ......."
Cons:"There has to be but I can't seem to think of any at the moment."
In A Nutshell:"Pictures that lasts forever in your mind."
