BETWEEN THE MOUNTAIN AND THE SEA

Nestled at the foot of Table Mountain on the Atlantic seaboard, lies the historic city of Cape Town.

 and Victoria and Alfred wharf.
Simon van der Stel, the first Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, established a colony here to supply the trade ships of the Dutch East Indies Company with fresh water, vegetables and other proviand to sustain them on their long trips to the East in search of their much sought-after spices.

CAPE TOWN - THE JEWEL OF AFRICA

WHERE IS CAPE TOWN?
Situated on the south- western tip of Africa, Cape Town for me is the Jewel in South Africa's crown.

With it's beautiful and varied beaches, flanked by both the Atlantic and the Indian Oceans, and dominated  by the imposing view of Table Mountain, Cape Town is a delightful to the senses.
