Cape Town glistens at the southern toe of the African continent. Tourist brochure-views at Blaauwberg Beach and Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens are within easy driving distance of "The Mother City." The Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve provides sweeping sea vistas, hiking trails and wildlife encounters. On a more somber note, travelers can visit Robben Island, the prison where Nelson Mandela was held for 27 years.

On the edge of central Cape Town, Bo-Kaap’s iconic brightly colored homes are a feast for the eyes! More importantly it is Ho,e to a significant number of South Africa’s vibrant and important Muslim community. It is dotted with Mosques and interesting stores. It’s identity and nature is being threatened by the gentrification wealthy South Africans purchasing homes that will forever change the feel and character of this vibrant community. Spend time here walking about and getting to know the area and some of its people if you can.....
