Cape Town is a beautiful place. Nestled between the mountains and the sea, few other cities are built among such stunning geography. There’s so much history here as well; The Dutch, and then the British, had been coming around the continent since the 1600s. It’s all on display at Table View. You feel connected to the rest of the world here, despite being so far south on the end of the African continent. When I was in Ushuaia, on the tip of South America, it felt like the end of the world. Not so here in Cape Town. It feels like the bottom of the world, but there’s a robust connection to the rest of the planet, through culture, the news, and technology. South Africans have a pride in their place in the world. Although not the largest economy on the continent, South Africa is by far the most developed. It all makes for an interesting mix. People’s ancestry, the country’s political history, the incredible geology…Cape Town is a place of wonder. At once you can appreciate how unique the different parts of the world are, as well as the unity of the whole planet. Amazingly different as we are, we are one.
