Bo-Kaap

posted by Paul
Colourful houses and cobbled streets are some of the most immediately apparent features of Bo-Kaap. Traditionally known as the Malay-Quarter it is one of the most culturally-rich parts of Cape Town. The area was established in the 17th and 18th century as home to slaves imported by the Dutch East India Company.

I like this blog! I went twice to South Africa in the past two years but I didn't have the opportunity to visit Cape Town. Maybe one day.....
