Farewell Cape Town

For our last meal in Cape Town, Charlotte York and I checked out the trendy restaurant, Beluga, where Prince Harry's girlfriend celebrated a recent birthday. It was a fun restaurant and I had the chance to try kingklip, a local fish that came highly recommended.

Now that the Cape Town portion of our vacay is over, I have mixed feelings about the city. It certainly does have natural beauty, but the disparity between black/white, poor/rich is very startling. Furthermore, the fact that it's not safe to explore on one's own was pretty disappointing.

I think I'd go back and experience the beaches and nightlife during the summer, but it doesn't feel representative of the African experience I'm looking for during this trip.
