I'm just about old enough to remember Apartheid and PW Botha. So Cape Town was never on my visit list. When a trip came up from work, I was very blaze. What a missed opportunity that would have been. Whilst the Townships are still in clear sight and at odds with the oppulence of the rest of the city, an effort has definitely been made to reverse the errors of the past. Yes, poverty is evident, but so is a quiet guilt in the voices of many of the white South Africans I spoke to. Normal big cit...

Hej Alle Saa er det vidst paa tide at jeg skriver og de seneste par dage. Cape Town er simpelthen fantastisk. Det er en utrolig smuk by, omgivet af bjerge og hav. Det er virkelig det smukkeste sted jeg har vaeret indtil videre. Jeg tror ogsaa det er et dejligt sted at bo, ikke bare at besoege. For foerste gang paa min tur bor jeg paa et rigtigt backpacker vandrehjem, og det er meget sjovt. Alle er i 20'erne og er meget soede. Det har vaeret rigtigt hyggeligt, men det har ogsaa vaeret et p...

So recently I treated myself to a well deserved 3 day getaway to Cape Town. It was absolutely fabulous and what made it all the more 'Fabulous' was this wonderful little 'key' to the fairest Cape called the Cape Town Pass. It is absolutely great and well worth it!

South AfricaIt’s the signs that flash past you as you’re driving which remind you that you’re in Africa not the South of France or San Francisco. It’s an easy mistake. There’s the same slatted wooden low rise architecture of San Fran, the same wind-bent trees battered by years of Atlantic squalls into makeshift weeping willows that you see on Highway One . Then there are the splashes of colourful fauna, the jaggedly beautiful cliffs looming over meandering seaside drives. This could...

Twee weken Kaapstad met als belangrijkste bezigheid de aanschaf van een auto. Via het internet komen we bij Drive Africa terecht, waar we een Toyota Corolla met een terugkoop garantie kopen. Verder zijn we een hoop tijd kwijt met de aanschaf van een kampeeruitrusting, maar zien op die manier ook een groot deel van Kaapstad zelf. Er zijn behoorlijk wat toeristische attracties, maar voor ons is toch een van de leukste dingen gewoon rondlopen en de sfeer proeven. Maar laat de sfeer nu juist heel...

i want to travel to your country and do fire shows

We took a great 4 hour drive or so around this beautiful part of Cape Town. There was so much to see, from the mountains, to the ocean to the guys selling curios along the street. I can't forget the people who were riding bikes up these steep hills almost without any effort at all. My legs, lungs and a feet all hurt just watching them. The ocean was incredible. I just stood around and watch the waves crash along the rocks. I also liked the bay, it was just like God has quieted this part of ...

During the summer of 2004 I was one of 5 British people who went out to Africa with a 2,000 strong team of international volunteers to try and bring aid, help and hope. Our work included prison ministry, helping in orphanages, working in the hospices with people with HIV/Aids, children's work, door to door evangelism and working with the homeless.
