Cape Town

It has been a while since my last post. Unfortunatley I am not in Cape Town right now. Internet connections in Africa are not fast. I here in Rawanda they are putting in fibre optics under the ground anhd is the cleanest so far.

Cape Town is a magnificient city. The skyline is surounded by Table mountain and surounded by bueatiful blue water. I have been staying at a fourstar backpackers called the backpackers on Long Street. I payed 180 rand per night. Sweet deal.

My first night I found a cheap bar and ate a cheap burger while watching a footie game. Most CapeTonians usually spend there friday and saturday nights on Long Streeet. It is the nightlife district.
The Victoia and Alfred waterfround has been redeveloped into a superb shopping place. Hotels, Malls and marina's cover the wharfs. On a clear day one can see Robbin Island.

Robbin Island was where Nelson Mandela was imprissioned for numerious years. My tour was given by a former prision mate.
Today the island has it's own community, including a school, post office and general store. The patrons of the island are a mix of former prision mates and former prision guards. All are neighbours. Amazing.

The stadium in Cape Town is large and is well architectually designed for the surounding habitat. Around the corner is Camps Bay.
Camps Bay is a coummity for big homes. Some have there own lift from the road as the homes are built higher up on the rocky coast. Superb beaches.

I have to say I am very impressed with the city.
