It’s all about that Cape Town feeling

I LOVE CAPE TOWN. Cape Town through the eyes of a Joburger is something else entirely. You have to understand, I’m used to concrete, traffic & skyscrapers, and while Cape Town certainly has its fair share of all of that, I was suddenly surrounded by the ocean, mountains, winelands & stunning natural wonders. I was suddenly surrounded by ALL of Cape Town – and needless to say, I couldn’t get enough. The simple truth is this - from the very first moment I set foot in the Mother City I wanted to be part of her magic. The point is I’m crazy in love with Cape Town. Like head-over-heels, where’s my engagement ring, I’m ready to walk down the aisle, let’s get married right now, in love with Cape Town. And I’m not the commitment type, so that’s a big deal. While witnessing Table Mountain for the very first time might have been what hooked me, it was EVERYTING else about the magnificent Mother City that sealed the deal. I’m a born-and-bread Joburger turned head-over-heels in love Capetonian, and I don’t care who knows it! So, what exactly is it about Cape Town that turned me head-over-heels you ask? Well, here are just 5 reasons why I love Cape Town, but trust me, there are a million more.
