City Spotlight: Cape Town (and surroundings)

Hey hey, I'm back after my little break! It has been a month now since I came to South Africa and I can't believe how fast time flies. I have discovered and seen some much here and I can tell you, I love this country and totally understand the passion people feel about Cape Town.
