Cairo to Cape Town Complete

So midday on March 10th, I rolled into Cape town. So just about four months on the African continent.  First impressions Cape Town is modern, cosmopolitan, and has a great deal of energy due to the upcoming world cup. It also has many faces, you have a downtown, a port, a developed waterfront, great suburbs, beachy resort communities, and a mountain right in the middle of the town. If I could compare it to anywhere is would be a combo of Miami, SF, and the French Riviera.

I kept the car through the rest of the week and did a bunch of sightseeing.

I have installed myself at a centrally located guesthouse and am making fast friends. Everyone is either starting their trip via Cape Town, or ending there so there is quite a bit of energy in all the visitors and guests.
