Company Gardens and Table Mountain, City Bowl, Cape Town
NEWS UPDATE:
Arrival Cape Town:
21 January 2007
This is my city of birth, but I have never lived here until now. Years ago I used to visit Cape Town for my annual vacations. Every time I vowed to live here one day, but it took longer than expected. After a few years of self-imposed exile and restless wandering abroad, I decided to return to Africa and specifically to “This Fairest Cape”. Its great to be back – everything is new, bright and fresh! That happens when you stay away for too long. The feeling will inevitably wear off and my nomadic tendencies might get the better of me eventually, but for now it’s more than good. It’s fantastic! This is truly a breathtaking city and is impressively situated at the tip of Africa’s most southern point, where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet. My first three months here were busy and I tried my hand at a few part time jobs and had some accommodation ups and downs. Such is the nature of travel, but I have now settled into a flat-share with a view, in the shadows of Table Mountain. In March I landed a teaching job in the city centre. Recently it turned into a more regular position and although I might not become a rich teacher, I’m certainly quite a happy one! Beyond that I have no plans for the moment. I’m just going to enjoy being here.
All the best
