RE: A step into the Past!
Last visit to the Cape was with the boys being very young so more about train trip down to Simonstown, going up the mountain, more entertainment for boys to enjoy.
Hearing your description I wonder if the magic has not disappeared somewhat in becoming over developed.
The magic is stll around Lady Joan, but one now has to go off the beaten tracks to find it. Even though some of the new developments try to stick to the old gable style of Cape architecture, it is still an eye sore at the foot of the mountains.
Then of course one also has the moneyed people that try to build extravagant palaces everywhere.
Fortunately it is not as developed and there are more farms on the other side of the mountains.
Those areas will soon become my new playgrounds.
Blessings!
