After coming back from the 2.5 weeks in South Africa, I needed some time to catch up with things and think about the many impressions we've got. Also, I first wanted to sieve the metric ton of pictures that I took on the whole trip. Here are some from Cape Town, all taken on the first day.
This is the town hall in downtown Cape Town, the place where Nelson Mandela gave his first speech after he was freed from Robben Island, with 100,000 people cheering on the Grand Parade.
Reminiscences of "Tata" are everywhere. This was just a foretaste of what was meant to await us. Also, the Table Mountain in the background.
Some nice sense of humor...
We also went through Bo-Kaap, a beautiful part of the town with many colourful small houses it is the center of the muslim life in Cape Town.
Again, the Table Mountain in the background. I guess it is hard to find a place in the city from which you cannot spot this impressive cliff.
A tomb with a view on the harbour.
Watching the sun fall into the Atlantic Ocean...
... and Cape Town at night.
Wow, I love the night shot!
