Cape Town is a city worth crossing the world for. First impressions simply don’t get any better – the city is dominated by the golden splendour of Table Mountain, its steep slopes and flat top towering between the wild shores of the Atlantic. It is a city that is at once intense and laid back. The severity of the mountain is tempered by the soft, white sand of its beaches, the grand pomposity of its colonial buildings mollified by the buzzing markets that surround them. Its very nature seems audaciously fickle, evoking bafflingly conflicting images – notorious Robben Island and the body-beautiful hedonism of Clifton Beach, the call of the muezzin from the Bo-Kaap mosques mingling with the beats of funk and house in cool bars, the bronzed beach babe who drives in an open-top sports car past homeless, street-side families, opulent wine estates and the shanty towns of the Cape Flats. All of these images, however strange, are real and jostle for attention.
