Cape Town, South Africa-Journey Through Time
Cape Town Chronicles
A Journey Through Time and Wonder at the Edge of Africa
The Mother City Keeps Calling Back
Four years ago today, and we are back in Cape Town, South Africa - a city that has captured our hearts across multiple visits, each one revealing new layers of this magnificent destination at the southern tip of Africa.
Our Cape Town Journey Through the Years
Our first return to the Mother City - 2016
Returning to our beloved Table Mountain - 2017
Another magical year at the tip of Africa - 2018
The Soul of Cape Town
At 3,500 feet above sea level, Table Mountain is the oldest mountain on Earth - 6 times older than The Himalayas!
Irresistible, is a good way to describe it. The rocks at the summit reminded me of Honningsvåg Norway and the Arctic Circle glacier stones - truly amazing. Happy to duplicate the Christ the Redeemer Art Deco statue pose of Jesus Christ in Rio at this sacred summit.

Cape Town: Where Every Return Feels Like Coming Home
Each visit to Cape Town has been a revelation. From our first glimpse during the 2011 world cruise - a brief but unforgettable 3-day stopover - to our more recent extended stays, this city continues to surprise and enchant us. The Mother City has a way of getting under your skin, calling you back with its perfect blend of natural beauty, rich history, and warm hospitality.
Whether we're standing atop Table Mountain, sharing the same view that gave Nelson Mandela hope during his imprisonment, or simply enjoying our ocean view from The Table Bay Hotel, Cape Town offers experiences that resonate long after departure. It's more than a destination - it's a feeling, a connection to something larger than ourselves.
From the ancient glacial stones of the Arctic Circle to the time-weathered peaks of Table Mountain, our travels have shown us that Earth's most magnificent formations share surprising similarities across continents and millennia.
