 “By any standard, the Cape Town region of South 
                    Africa is one of the most beautiful and compelling places 
                    to visit on the planet. Here, in addition to a city with fascinating 
                    historical sites, excellent museums, vibrant markets and a 
                    handsomely restored waterfront, I encountered mountain wilderness, 
                    rugged coastlines, sandy beaches, lush gardens, beautiful 
                    wine estates, superior hotels and some of the warmest, most 
                    welcoming people I've ever met.”
