A day off in #CapeTown. Travel enough, and you realize that the most interesting cities are always port cities – places where goods and peoples come and go, imprinting and reshaping the culture in their wake. Pioneer cities (for better or worse). Here, at the bottom of Africa, the so-called “Mother City” beams in the southern sunshine, cradled by the majestic Table Mountain. Colonial buildings house Spanish tapas bars, African-Japanese fusion restaurants and everything in between. Mega yachts in the harbor, poor townships like Cape Flats in the distance. Imports, exports, contrasts. It’s the kind of town where everyone has a really interesting story.
