Cape Town Travel Guide (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781983722646)

Cape Town, because it is the oldest city in South Africa, is known as the "Mother City". It makes sense because you could say it gave birth to all the other cities that sprang up after its inception. Like a mother, Cape Town will nurture you, care for you, offer you all things good .... And when you leave, you know you will find it hard to cut ties with such a beloved city. The magnificent Table Mountain, Cape Town's iconic landmark, is what comes to mind when one says "Cape Town." Perched, or nestling between the mountains, the ocean and a magnificent national park, this is a mother city with cultural heritage that spans over a more than 300-year lifespan. It's about this city that Nelson Mandela spoke some time ago; 'Rainbow Nation' comes to life. There is a colorful array of old Cape Dutch homes, there are the colorful traditional dancers with their painted faces that perform jaw-dropping dances in the streets of Cape Town, there are the spicy aromas of Malay cooking and the heady delights of exotic wines. Does it not make sense that Cape Town literally will fill your senses? Cape town is the city for all seasons, for all people - from the bells ringing out from the historic St George's Cathedral to the sounds of the muezzin calling members to prayers, to the 2 cannons calling sailors to check their marine chronometers from bygone days.
