Why not Cape Town!
Strolling through the cobbled streets of Cape Town always makes me nostalgic for Paris, France. A world I was immersed in a lifetime ago. The two cities have many similarities, sights, smells and sounds all colliding at once, giving you a good smack in the gob! A...
Secrets to exploring the Boland
