context_page_description: A Voyage Round the World is Georg Forster's report about the second voyage of James Cook. The book was written in 1776/77 by Georg instead of his father, Johann Reinhold Forster, the naturalist on the Second Voyage, after the elder Forster had fallen out with Cook and John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich. It was published in March 1777 and has become a classic of travel literature.
context_section_description: The voyagers spend three weeks in Cape Town. Forster describes the colony, which he finds far superior to the Portuguese colony at Cape Verde. They meet Anders Sparrman, who agrees to accompany them.
