Cape Town South Africa has one of the most beautiful settings of any city in the world. To the left you can see the city outline and Table Mountain above it from Robben Island. I had the pleasure of spending time there in November and December 2010. This is the first in a series of posts covering Cape Town and the surrounding Western Cape region. Below are scenes form the central business district. There is a long pedestrian space with trees and food stands. This is the oldest part in terms of European settlement as the Dutch first settled here in the 1650s. This first picture shows the City Bowl from the shore. You can click on any image to enlarge it.
This is Long Street which is one of the major night life areas.
The next post will cover several museums and gardens in the City Bowl.
I love the food stands.
