Cape Town, South Africa By Muguette Goufrani I first visited Cape Town as a Travel Agent, spending a month's vacation on a 'fam' trip, 'and most recently at the 2001 ATA Congress. It's a picture perfect location to say the least. Framed by the panorama of Table Mountain (floodlit at night) and the Atlantic Ocean, Cape Town is southern Africa's most visited destination. Founded in 1652 by Jan van Riebeeck, it is called the "Mother City of South Africa." Here on the historic Western Cape, where two great oceans and many cultures meet, you will discover a blend of scenic beauty, combined with healthy outdoors activities and cultural charm. The Cape Peninsula offers scenic drives, each with an ocean backdrop, while the historic city is blessed with dozens of hiking trails and miles of sandy beaches. Table Bay attracts sail boarders and wind surfers from around the world. Visitors will enjoy the many public gardens and forest groves, the vineyards, wine estates and famous dock area. There are hundreds of hiking trails botanical gardens and wine estates, indigenous Cape Dutch architecture, Georgian and Victorian building styles. For an insider's look at many interesting sidelights to this charming, historic city, be sure to read " Love notes to Cape Town, by Selwyn Davidowitz. I am sure I speak for everyone in ATA and its partners when I thank Selwyn for allowing us to provide these anecdotes for your education and enjoyment. Perhaps they will convince you to visit the area now or at some future date. If this hasn't convinced you enough, further details are available on the South Africa Tourism web site: http://www.ctcc.gov.za/
