Located on the shore of Table Bay, Cape Town was originally developed by the Dutch East India Company as a victualling (supply) station for Dutch ships sailing to East Africa, India, and the Far East. Jan van Riebeeck's arrival on 6 April 1652 established the first permanent European settlement in South Africa. Cape Town quickly outgrew its original purpose as the first European outpost at the Castle of Good Hope, becoming the economic and cultural hub of the Cape Colony. Until the Witwatersrand Gold Rush and the development of Johannesburg, Cape Town was the largest city in South Africa. As of 2011 the metropolitan region had an estimated population of 3.74 million.
Cape Town is located at latitude 33.55° S (approx. the same as Sydney and Buenos Aires and equivalent to Casablanca and Los Angeles in the northern hemisphere) and longitude 18.25° E. Table Mountain, with its near vertical cliffs and flat-topped summit over 1,000 m (3,300 ft) high, and with Devil's Peak and Lion's Headon either side, together form a dramatic mountainous backdrop enclosing the central area of Cape Town, the so-called City Bowl. A thin strip of cloud, known colloquially as the "tablecloth", sometimes forms on top of the mountain. To the immediate south, the Cape Peninsula is a scenic mountainous spine jutting 40 kilometres (25 mi) southwards into the Atlantic Ocean and terminating at Cape Point. There are over 70 peaks above 1,000 feet (300 m) within Cape Town's official city limits. Many of the city's suburbs lie on the large plain called the Cape Flats, which extends over 50 kilometres (30 mi) to the east and joins the peninsula to the mainland. The Cape Flats is situated on what is known as a rising marine plain, consisting mostly of sandy geology and confirming that at one point Table Mountain was itself an island.
Cape Town has a Mediterranean climate , with mild, moderately wet winters and dry, warm summers. Winter, which lasts from the beginning of June to the end of August, may see large cold fronts entering for limited periods from the Atlantic Ocean with significant precipitationand strong north-westerly winds. Winter months in the city average a maximum of 18.0 °C and minimum of 8.5 °C Total annual rainfall in the city averages 515 millimetres (20.3 in). Summer, which lasts from early December to March, is warm and dry with an average maximum of 26.0 °C and minimum of 16.0 °C . The region can get uncomfortably hot when the Berg Wind, meaning "mountain wind", blows from the Karoo interior for a couple of weeks in February or early March. Late spring and early summer may sometimes feature a strong wind from the south-east, known locally as the Cape Doctor, so called because it blows air pollution away. This wind is caused by a high-pressure system which sits in the South Atlantic to the west of Cape Town, known as the South Atlantic High. Cape Town's average amount of sunshine per year (3,100 hours) compares favourably with that of Los Angeles (3,300 hours) and exceeds that of Athens and Madrid (2,900 hours).

tawar menawar boleh aje kat sini.. termasuklah kat sunday market. tawarlah..
fyi.. kat cape town ni.. u all beli brg2 TIDAK TERMASUK MAKANAN.. u all boleh claim balik VAT kat airport. Belian R400 (simpan resit tu) boleh tebus kat airport bila balik & tunjuk brg2 yang u all beli. contoh brg2 tu.. baju, kasut, beg, telur hiasan, lampu hiasan, batu2.. TAPI KENA ADA RESIT baru boleh claim.. ok..

Dulu I ada buka thread Cape Town Kim, tapi entah mana dah hilang hehe. Kat sana tak semahal Europe tapi berbaloi baloi pergi. I sangat sangat recommend. Boleh pi Safari, Penguin island, vineyard, cape of good hope, macam macam lah lagi. Orang orang dia pun sangat baik dan peramah. Ada peluang you should go. I pun nak pi lagi sekali. I ada kawan kerja situ.

I went to Cape Town lamaaaa dah dulu back in 2004.. Cape Town sgt cantik, the scenery sgt superb.. I sempat naik cable car ke Table Mountain, pegi Stellenborch University, pegi Botanical Garden, Cape of Good Hope, vineyards, tgk penguins, pegi Sunday Market, kedai batu permata, Bookap (tempat org melayu cape town) etc.. since makan susah sikit and tak memenuhi selera I, I bawak hotplate and masak sendiri.. sayur2 and buah2 kat sana sgt fresh.. and l like rooiboos tea diaorg..
Nando's originated from here, katanya halal restaurant Nando's kat sini.. but I dont like Nando's so tak pegi makan kat situ.. |

I pegi dulu year end 2009. Masa tu malaysia airlines ada lagi flights to Cape Town with 1 hour transit in Johannesburg. Cantik sgt2 Cape Town! Sekarang ni kalau nak pegi kena naik Qatar kot. Rasanya Singapore Airlines pun fly sampai Johannesburg je |
