Cape Town The Mother City.
Being the oldest city in Africa and sitting between the ocean and a mountain with a National Park as its heart Cape Town is a unique city. If you add its history both recent and older it ticks all the boxes of a destination you would want to experience. It's streets give a vivid picture of a mixture of people that covers the Rainbow Nations spectrum of Cape Dutch Homesteads, traditional dancers with tribal backgrounds and the smell of spice filled Malay cooking all creating a cocktail of cultures as you walk around. It is a true feast of your senses. It was a city I had long wanted to visit and it really did not dissapoint. We flew there from Base Camp via Heathrow on British Airways. It was a bumpy ( We experienced some bad turbulence over Central Africa) on a 12 hour overnight flight from Heathrow before we arrived in the Mother City in the early morning. After that the adventure began. Arriving Cape Town International Airport The Airport is situated 20 km outside the city
