This road reminded me a little of San Francisco. Not that Cape Town is by any means as hilly, but still, I find the rises in the distance somewhat reminiscent of that great West Coast city.

I do enjoy your quizzes. After a couple of minutes on google maps/earth, I managed to find it. It is the corner of Adderley and Riebeek, looking up Riebeek St. http://goo.gl/maps/PDsTT
Having lived in San Francisco, I agree, it does have a bit of a San Francisco feel to it.
Keep the quizzes coming!

Yup, Dieter is correct, you’re looking directly up Riebeek Street :)

Post author@Dieter, you legend you. Adderley and Riebeek, that’s it! :)
I spent only two weeks in SFC – mostly in Palo Alto though.
@Deems, it seems you’re the odd one out – you’re just going to have to fix that and visit California! :)

@Paul – it’s on my bucket list (visiting some of the great cities in the US) – closest we’ve come is the airport in Miami on our way to Mexico :)
Paul
Post authorYeah, it’s pretty darn expensive to visit there Deems. I was fortunate enough to visit on a business trip. Really fortunate.

I actually gave up on SF because of the cost of living there, and moved to Charlotte. I do however have quite a lot of South African friends who still live there. San Francisco (or rather just outside the city itself, including Palo Alto) is the closest match for Cape Town weather I’ve managed to find in the US.
