Introduction and WEBCAMS of Cape Town

"Praat nie twak nie" (Afrikaans for "not talking nonsense") is intended to be a blog about things that other people did that I either like or admire. There are so my wonderful people and things to admire around the world

From where I sit here on the southern point of Africa, one can get the impression that Cape Town is the center of the world. Like the Sydney Opera-house, or the London Bridge, just our monument is real and not manmade.

Table Mountain is real, nature is real, but around us swirl so many people chasing after illusions.

Looking at Table Mountain gives me a sense of permanence.

Table Mountain is no longer the safe haven where one can go for a hike and feel safe and rejuvenated.

Criminals lurk behind the bushes here too.

Some people no longer risk going on a nature hike in Cape Town but from a distance, the mountain is beautiful and majestic.

One can sit in the comfort of some of one of our Milnerton to Big Bay beachfront restaurants and enjoy a nice meal, with a free view of Table Mountain, in comfort and safety.

Most of the time. Occasionally an armed hold-up may spoil your appetite, but that is so occasional, and only two friends of my friends died that way.

To kick the praatnie twak nie blog into action, here are a few links to webcams of Table Mountain.

The best Cape Town Webcams. You can not beat this site.
