"Cape Town" a Cape Town Travel Page by morne

I was born in Bellville one of the northern suburbs of Cape Town, and am still living and working here.

Cape town to me is one of those places that grips you and never let go of you again. One naturally longs for one's home, but this peninsula has something extra-special to offer it's inhabitants. It is without doubt, one of the most spectacular places on this planet. Every day is another miracle that I experience on my way in to the city centre and all I can do is to hold my breath at it's majesty and beauty.

Table Mountain is famous for its 'Table cloth' - a thin, white and whispy cloud formation that flows effortesly over the top like a waterfall, only to disappear into thin air halfway down the slope. Legend and myths abound... most saying that a retired pirate, on climbing this flat-topped mountain, met up with the devil himself! Trying to protect his soul, and feeling desperate, the pirate challenged the devil to a smoking competition. They then stoked up their wooden pipes and have been smoking ever since!
