I'm sure we've mentioned this before, but I need to say it again: it's so HARD living in Cape Town. Really, you can't possibly understand unless you've spent at least a few weeks here. We've got this exquisite mountain, all these pristine beaches, gorgeous green forests, superb weather (if you don't count the wind), a picturesque harbour, breathtaking sunsets... *sigh*.
Being surrounded by all this beauty ALL THE TIME is such a burden. I do hope you feel sorry for us.

Hating you all the way from Vancouver( can you tell I lived there, just up from that road in fact!?)

I feel so sorry that I am rushing over to share your pain in just under four weeks. No, no, do not try to say you don’t need it, it’s the least I can do!
I thought this post was going to be about how impossible it is to find parking most of the time. :)

Why don’t you try to go around Milano, Napoli, Roma (Italy) and afterwards looking for a parking place? that’s really hell!!!!
When I go to Camps Bay on a summer week end, I try to be there around 9 o’clock
and I always park my car easily.
Driving in the “traffic” of Cape Town is like going around in any Italian town 30 years ago. Lots of fun…
I developed a website on South Africa – and did a lot of reading about Cape Town in the process. And you know what I thought while I was doing – how very lucky must those who live in Cape Town be! Those awesome beaches, Penguins seals, the table mountain….wow..to be surrounded by all that and still live in a city would be heaven…
Now after reading your post, I don’t know what to say. ;)
Feel indeed sorry for you, the poor souls, having to live in such a place!! ;)
Want to house swap? Lovely Rome apartment in the center of town, beautiful, historic, artistic, great food…
I’m not kidding!

Loved the pic and loved your website- I will subscribe right away. How nice to come across someone so postive about our beautiful country. I am tired of reading the rubbish published on the web every day. I am fortunate to have travleled a great deal and have lived in other parts of the world, but I can say that nowhere is as beautiful every day as Cape Town.
We love to share our lovely coastal suburbs with our guests.

Paul that is such a cruel post especially for some-one who knows exactly what it’s like but can’t physically be there at this point in time :)
And no I don’t feel sorry for you – just put up with it..:)
Love the photo..

I endure “hard” Cape Town living every December..
The beach parking during season does suck though, and the club lines… But it is part of the package
