Took a walk round the waterfront which is simply amazing. Great vibe with buzzing social noises of people scattered all over the waterfront. The city itself feels very calm for some reason aswell. Interview was towards the back of the city bowl in an area called The Gardens. The mountain backdrop to the city really is awe inspiring and always manages to take my breathe away. I certainly chose a good day to go down on the Wednesday as it was windless (unusual for CT) with deep blue skies and a bright white-like sun.
Stayed with my brother Chris and finished off my trip down there with an english breakfast in the morning at Café Rouge in Noordhoek before I flew back. Mountains everywhere with beautiful white beaches and small quaint thatch houses just off the beaches. People in Cape Town certainly do seem rather well connected with the rest of the world which is why I particularly enjoy the city. It has good international ties with so many foreigners in the area to rub shoulders with and it does sound as if it is on the world map. Besides the general friendliness of the people, the weather and the company I visited I couldnt help but think it really did feel like ‘the place to be’ in South Africa at the moment.
