| Stellenbosch, a short drive from Cape Town, is the oldest town in South Africa, with pretty Cape Dutch buildings and a wonderful botanic garden belonging to Stellenbosch University. Proteas and other exotica galore. Company's Garden, in the center of Cape Town, with handsome government buildings and statues and museums and Bishop Tutu's church nearby. Bo-Kaap, the brightly painted old Malay quarter of the town. Another day, a drive down the Cape Peninsula, calling in at Hout Bay to visit the fur seals, at Simon's Town for lunch and at Boulders Beach for the penguins. Then on to the Cape of Good Hope for crashing waves, baboons and fynbos |
