Time Out Cape Town: Winelands and the Garden Route

I was skeptical about this book, particularly since I have no interest in the wine country. But with two five star reviews, I ordered it. I was amazed. Very well written. Covers everything. Great pictures. With our weight limits we will not take most of our guide books, but this one will accompany us.

I gave the book to my wife. She took a look at it and said something to the effect that it looked superficial. I urged her to read it and she immediately became a convert.

One of the best travel books I have read.

Frommer's Cape Town Day by Day

by: Lizzie Williams
I have just arrived back in New York City after having been home in South Africa filming on-site `clips' for my video series `Another Country Through My Eyes' which assists with promoting and selling of tourism to South Africa.

My film crew and I visited Cape Town, Kapama Luxury Private Game Reserve, and Johannesburg for on-site `clips' . . . and despite the fact that I have lived in Cape Town and revisited the city more times than I can recall, this Frommer's Cape Town - day by day - 17 Smart Ways to See the City by Lizzie Williams, was the `smartest' pre-departure purchase I have made.

Scenic Cape Town

by: Mark Skinner
If you are truly interested in seeing some of the beautiful SCENIC places in Cape Town this is the book for you.

To the person who reviewed this book from Beverly Hills. The title has SCENIC in it for a reason. We all know about the townships and horrible places. Do you expect every SCENIC book about California to mention the dreadful housing conditions, gangs wars, constant murders that take place in California. Would this attract tourists and money to your region - I doubt it very much.
