Back home in the Netherlands it is not easy to wake up without the view on Table Mountain, a splendid breakfast at the Blue Cafe in the sun, and knowing the day will be topped off with a glance over all the city lights of Cape Town. Pictures just do not do justice to the magnificence of the view.

South Africa is a very complex society and Cape Town provided the opportunity to get acquainted with all of its aspects: the big city, the townships, the beaches, the two oceans, the mountains, the cultures, the languages and the politics of the different communities.

Gerrit was very welcoming and patient despite our delayed arrival from the airport, and upon departure his very friendly mother came to fetch the keys whilst Gerrit was on a holiday in the far East. We did not encounter any problem (except the absence of a corkscrew!!) during our stay in this very comfortable apartment. Thanks a lot, we will return.
