I used to live with my parents in sea point in the late '50's, it was a lovely place, used to go to the pool a lot. On saturdays they used to have a "hop" (dance) at the pavillion and sea point itself was great with their expresso bars. Sadly its all changed now, sea point is now being run by the brutal "numbers" and "americans" gangs. Not safe at all.

Vernon, will you please stop puting photos of young SA girls on site, it plays havoc with some of the lads blood pressure LOL.
Cape Town city of my dreams, some good, some>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> wel let's not go there.
Very good friend of mine here in Melbourne, born in Durban, raised in Jo'burg with family in Cape Town. Back there two years ago and said Durban is now what she considers not safe for whites. But in Cape Town one evening out with the family for dinner and in burst three guys with guns demanding the customers put all their money in a bag they had as well as jewelry. The good news is they took too long at it and the owner was able to contact the police. Sirens blaring the crooks took off with nothing when they heard. Not sure what part of town but somewhere on the outskirts.

I thought it was you, , the things we did, ? i woke up in some very strange places, the thought of a hangover now is enough to stop me, was strange really, as soon as i got back to the UK i stopped drinking, untill the next trip, and did not miss it. it was a different atmosphere when away.
