Describing Cape Town, the Telegraph
said: “Set off in almost any direction and you are rewarded with undulating
mountain peaks, slopes carpeted in the world’s richest floral kingdom, fertile
valleys riven by amber streams, and wind-clipped plains producing unexpected
culinary gems.”
The newspaper said “the greatest city
in the world is a coastal gem, lying in the shadow of a cloud-hugged mountain.
Here wine flows, penguins waddle and – not too far away – majestic beasts
roam.”
