The Great TREK - #32


August the 12th – Our 7th leg


Continued to "explore" the city of Cape Town, this time I took my kids to see one of the most colorful neighborhoods of the city, namely Bo-Kaap. 

Known for its brightly colored houses, situated at the foot of Signal Hill, it is the "spiritual" home of the Cape Muslim's Community.

Bo-Kaap has a fascinating history. Many of the residents are descendants of slaves from Malaysia, Indonesia and various African Countries, who were imported to the Cape of Good Hope by the Dutch during the 16th and 17th Centuries.

After the visit to the neighborhood, we went to town itself.
