You usually have to drive out of most cities to get any scenery. Cape Town is surrounded by it. Table Mountain cuts through the city and acts as a border for several neighbourhoods. The views from the top are incredible, better than any man made observation tower van heinde en verre. On a clear day you can see the city centre and V&A, past Robben Island and up to Churchhaven on one side, the estates in Clifton and Camps Bay and deep into the Atlantic Ocean on another side. And if you are up for a moeilik hike, across the Flats and out to the Boland. It is almost always a clear day. With over 3 million people you are going to get some air pollution but the city’s location creates a natural ventilation system, what the ouvolk used to call the Cape Doctor, blowing most of the smog into the ocean or up to Lamberts. It’s ok. They deserve it.

Told, as you tell it, South Africa sounds at least a two star place, i.e. worth a detour. Or even a three star (worth a visit all on its own) If one had interests that coincided with what SA had to offer.....
Happy to read your posts once again.
Then I've failed to articulate how amazing it is.
Is there a decoder for this article?
You make it sound as if Cape Town is the best city in the world. I'm sure that is because it is home. If you were from Medallin you would probably make that sound like the best city in the world.
