Cape Town Pays Tribute to Nelson Mandela

 We had a fantastic Concert at the Cape Town Stadium to celebrate Madiba's life. He would have been happy to see the spontaneous and joyous singing and dancing that his memory invoked.

My Personal Journey to sights around Cape Town celebrating Nelson Mandela's Life

Over the last 10 days I was privileged to visit many of the tribute sites to Nelson Mandela in and around Cape Town. There has been a spontaneous and momentous outpouring of grief while at the same time, young and old and people of all races are celebrating his life. These are pics taken from the Drakenstein (formerlyVictor Verster) Prison from where Madiba was released on 11 February 1990.

Bo Kaap or Cape Malay Quarter is one of the most scenic places to take a walk in Cape Town. Sample some authentic Cape Malay cuisine at one of the local eateries.

Tasted some great red wines at Topiary in Franschhoek today. Especially liked the 2007 Shiraz and was sorry to have missed the 2009 MCC which is Sold Out! Jacqui Braunlich being warmed from the inside on a rainy Cape day!
