Erstbesuch in Cape Town

Maarten, unser Gastgeber, war sehr aufgeschlossen und hilfsbereit. Er gab uns viele Tipps für unseren ersten Besuch in Cape Town und sorgte so auch für bleibende Eindrücke. Der Empfang in seinem Haus war überaus freundlich, ja beinahe familiär. Unser Zimmer war das kleinste des Hauses, worauf uns Maarten in Vorfeld mehrfach hinwies, trotzdem haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt, da es sehr praktisch und neu eingerichtet war. Die Ungebung ist relativ sicher und man kann duraus auch Abends zu Fuß die nahegelegene Gastronomie aufsuchen. Den anschließenden Verdauungsspaziergang gibts Gratis dazu, da Maartens Guesthouse am Hang des Signal Hill liegt :)
