This is the fourth in a series of posts covering Cape Town and the surrounding Western Cape region. I present images from the Waterkant. It is adjacent to Bo-Kaap but the original inhabitants, mostly descendents of freed slaves, where not as fortunate as those in Bo-Kaap and were removed in the 1950s. It has now become a very trendy area in the past 15 years given the central location and beautiful older homes. There are many small hotels and homes for travelers to rent.
Another colorful set ... rather suggestive of adventure and romance, too! I can almost see 007 flying out of a window, onto that red scooter and escaping down the street, fleeing from some villain.

Mick It would be a good place to film a spy movie with the drama of the setting. Bill
