For the last eight years my friend Neil has said to me, come to Cape Town, it’s the most unbelievable place on earth… Neil is sometimes prone to exaggeration, so I never made it a priority. Now that I am here, I can confirm that he was true to his word. The beaches are beautiful, the mountains are striking, and the seafood is so fresh and delicious.
Neil, lives in Los Angeles but is back in Cape Town visiting family and friends for the next few months, and has done everything possible to make us feel at home. Two weeks ago Mike and I flew from Tel Aviv to Cape Town via Johannesburg. Since then Neil has introduced us to his whole network of friends, taken us to all the best restaurants, cafés and shops. In addition, we are staying with him in his apartment, and he’s helped us get organized for our overland trip across Africa. It’s been so relaxing here that it’s no wonder we’re in no hurry to press on.
