Looking down on Cape Town from the top of Table Mountain.
Lion's Head is on the left and Robben Island top right.

Dassies
These small animals are Dassies - there are lots of them on top of the mountain.

(and thanks to the reader that identified them)

Table mountain

The Cape Town docks area has been redeveloped in recent years and is now full of shops and restaurants - something like San Francisco's Fishermans' Wharf or Sydney's Darling Harbour. Waterfront

District Six
Not far from downtown Cape Town is District Six. In 1966 the district was declared a "white area" and 60,000 people were forcibly removed and their houses bulldozed.
Apart from this municipal sports centre, the whole district is still virtually empty.
