Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Wow this place looks amazing! So much history there too!
South Africa is on my Bucket List. I would easily do everything you have listed here. I love a great open air restaurant, exploring local markets, and admiring the flora and fauna!
Oh man, South Africa is absolutely a place I want to visit at some point in my life. I have never been to any place on that side of the world!
I never knew about the pear tree. I definitely have to go back to Cape Town
This looks absolutely beautiful!! I need to add this to my list of places I want to go!!
