I love Cape Town!



I am sure there are many people who can happily say that they love their city.I am most happy to be one of those. I am a truly and utterly biased Capetonian. There is not a day that goes by that I do not enjoy the amazing energy and beauty of the City of Cape Town.
There are so many attributes that make it an amazing city to live in and over time these are the features I wish to covey on this blog in more detail.

Cape Town has such natural beauty, being surrounded by oceans and mountains. This has created many "green lungs" where one is within quick and easy access to nature.
It is safe and easy to walk and explore the city centre. There are many pedestrian areas that showcase great markets and stores. We have a great cafe culture inviting one to enjoy the "old town"
For centuries, Cape Town has been a melting pot for different religious and ethnic backgrounds and this has led to a truly cosmopolitan and liberal city.

The other great advantage Cape Town has, its its easy access to the rest of the surrounding country side. Within less than an hour one is in the Wine Country surrounded by high valleys and green slopes of vineyards. Head in the other direction and one can explore some of the most pristine coast lines of the Hermanus area, famous for whale watching.

There is always so much to do and so little time in this great city!
