There was a good reason I picked the Western Cape to be my next destination once I checked into of one of the Best Cape Town Hotels, it’s one of South Africa’s premier tourist attraction. Table Mountain is there, winelands, pristine beaches, wonderful first class restaurants and the best night life.
Western Cape is situated on the south-western tip of Africa and is the meeting point of the very cold Atlantic ocean and the warm Indian Ocean. Cape Town is the Capital of Western Cape and dominating the view from where ever I looked is Table Mountain. It’s Cape Town’s most famous landmark. I took the revolving cable car to the 1086 meter summit and had a grand view of one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I found the area between Table Mountain and Hottentots Holland consists of the Cape Town Metropole and enfolds pulsating cosmopolitan city life, forests, exquisite nature parks and beach playgrounds. I particularly liked Cape Point, the most southern most point of the Cape Peninsula. It was great to go on a diving tour of the 2 dozen or so shipwrecks.
I also visited Robben Island, South Africa’s version of Alcatraz. It can be an emotional journey to the former prison of Robben Island. This is where Nelson Mandela and all the other anti-apartheid activists spent most of their adult years. I highly recommend this attraction. Plus, I visited the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront and did some shopping, ate a wonderful dinner and did some Clubbing. I headed back to my hotel room when I saw the sun was rising. Unbelievable, really. I didn’t want my stay in the Western Cape to end, I was really enjoying myself, the people whom I’d meet and the land itself. I felt a peace and at home here, well everywhere I went really.
