sightseeing highlights in their home countries. our 1st stop is cape town south africa. but it is my favorite so much of this is my neck and neck of the words in cape town it's known as longer one of the oldest black african townships in the western cape it's a beautiful sheet of lyric tory but the gallery 60 non-literate already behind me generally this area would be fooled with guess what people however what the cover of night in situation is currently dry and drab but i'm going to take you to a little bit of the city at my favorite spot in the city of cape town and show you my neck of the woods. within the city center longstreet's which is pretty much of fiber and part of cape town central business district but what makes it special is that it's the funky but

it's where all the clubs of your 18 to 35 come and play and for akira your urbanites off to work capetonians generally have grabbed a bar here. where . company gardens just on the right hand side where in an average day this would be fooled with tourists and locals alike that take a day break out of the hectic city and buzz in the city and just catch a breath with in this majestic gardens people generally come and feed squirrels in the garden as you can see pigeons egyptian piece in and around here. we are now are on the gateway to table mountain a real cableway of course that's also been closed even from here it is amazing view

of the city it's pretty much a place spot in the city center. the waterfront is it's a mall attract the most the best kept secret about it is the working dockyard it's one of the southern africa's all this working dockyards. so this is where we catch the ferry to the island robben island used to be a place where political prisoners are late all the states manasseh mandela spent a couple of years there so it was quite a pivotal point for me growing up as a young teenagers of 13 and 14 when mandela was freed to post 994 where we kind of caught freedom are i wasn't quite eligible enough to vote i wasn't kind of 18 years old but i kind of saw the queues of people certainly non whites blacks colored indians and the like for the 1st time having the chance to put an x on the ballot paper so that was quite there was quite

a momentous occasion in the history of south africa. even though a party for a lot in 1900 voted post 994 you know going to take the income inequality off the city's divide away in 25 years will probably take a generation or 2 to undo that. this is where they classified people on whether you were black you will watch a colored you indian so this is the non whites only bench. and this is the white certainly bench how i can also here ah ok folks we don't wrapping up in the city center of cape town c.b.d. now we're back to my neck of the woods and i'm going through to the restaurant where i normally serve people dinners in the evening. to get into to the covert $900.00 situation the space is good sports about 99 percent of the patrons that come to this restaurant are international guests hopefully once the school is over

we'll have you wining and dining with us here and the restaurant in beautiful cape town and monica the woods and yeah and have fun with us. cost us. some thought in the wake of the wyoming. centeredness avoid conic crescent shaped island in the south. normally would complain about over tourism but this year because of the part of the me that is empty. so this is one of the more famous pictures from this island the famous blue dome it feels so funny with a volcano in the background the dome symbolizes the sky basically the vault of the sky and the case is painted blue the color of the however the number of churches we have is that there.

so some 314 villages i recommend besides the very few people who give birth to smaller villages. from a functional. words village aside i'm not going to hold the beatles and i'm bored you know that at the moment a number you know. this is supposed to be nice to see so but the beaches are empty. something even just black because of the black will come the cash but there is also one more beach but this right thread because i'm tied on all sides. here as finance capital and the commercial center more money on these places would

be open and actually a very very busy but given the circumstances most of them are closed and default on that definitely not basic. level criticism of the whole market system that's a lot of the other thing to kind of pick. up again so this is e.f. one of the more spike on except the months off the islands with one of the more style photograph sunsets and the warped normally behind me over $3000.00 people would gather for watching the sunset this fewer people will give us more of a feel for the 1980 s. . thanks for joining me and hopefully.

the levels of a normally they would be thousands of people up here at this time of year when a bad because of the corona crisis there are no simply fewer tourists this year than last that we locals don't think it's all that bad so now we have the place all to ourselves. to a better best beer to broaden it is from our own mountain service up there you can walk up and go you can take the cable car i'd suggest we take the cable car today because it's so hot so fun part of all of their hives. isn't that amazing you can see everything from up here local island all the village are soft and the airport behind me we can see all of the broad nic it's a magnificent view.

so you're going to be down now we're back down in the old city center behind me is the main entrance to the old town the political 80 come on come from it. saw him 1st and now we're on to brother next main street and it's most famous street called straw doing is it starts at the big on north korea's fountain with its 16 water investors buy out. as was bottomless and says stratton is our main street and very important in our lives since we do so many things on the streets i we shop here during the coffee and spend time with our friends and family so you don't mind we just love the streets and not just also i bet that you must as fausto just imagine last year it was so crowded here you could hardly move you had to push people aside just to get

through. and today as you can see it's practically empty net fast completely out. strolling through out of iraq and he's going to hear that visiting the beautiful people to my favorite is a saint jacobi from here they get the best we have to provide it's all town. tell frankly if you enjoy it we look forward to seeing you. kill them ideally if you must of the little new cool.
