A walk along the refurbished promenade of Green Point, Sea Point and Bantry Bay

You can walk safely all the way from the V&A Waterfront to Camps Bay along the beach front promenade its a great walk or jog , to people watch or just chill out and enjoy the city and the stunning scenery

In my photos you see how quiet the promenade was. I guess it was partly because it is Ramadan and at this time (late afternoon) people are busy cooking and preparing for Iftar This is also where allot of Muslims come from across the city when the Ramadan is close to the end, awaiting the appearance of the new moon


I started off, after a pretty good mezze and a glass of wine at the Greek restaurant in Green Point, opposite the light house and walked to Bantry Bay and back it took me 2 and half hours with frequent stops to watch and admire the surfers or to take photos

New paving

The promenade is still being refurbished for 2010, new railings in places along the sea wall, new paving etc and its looking very good

My favourite shot of this lot

The Sea Point public swimming pool

Book in Cape Town in 2010 Its the most beautiful city of South Africa

Cape Town also has the most beautiful 2010 Stadium, see here and here
to be used at the 2010 Fifa World Cup in South Africa

If you need accomodation my advice is not to bother with the big hotels, they are blocked booked by FIFA / Match and Tour Operators
Rather choose a nice 4 star guesthouse breakfast included, once you try them you will never book a hotel again (in Cape Town)

Below are reliable websites to book your own accomodation and dont worry about rediculous prices I have stayed in 3 different 4 star guesthouses myself (before that I used to stay in 4 and 5 star hotels in Cape Town )and asked if they will raise their prices, they will slightly, but they are not asking silly prices and are way cheaper then the hotels, yet just as comfortable and you get most likely far better service considering how busy it is going to be .

Do look at the Cape Town map before you choose, the closer to the Stadium and the V&A Waterfront the more expensive its going to be, yet I would go for that option since you will save in time and the expense of transport, if you are in walking distance of those 2 venues

After you have chosen your accomodation it is better to first get in touch with the B&B or guest house to confirm their rates and availability before you direct book
