Most people know the area as the neighborhood with the colorful houses, but it's really so much more than that. Let me know what you think. And thanks for watching.
Great video! What a beautiful area of Cape Town with a fascinating history. Looking forward to trying some Malay food when I visit Cape Town next... 😃
We've earmarked a few good spots in preparation. Hopefully soon
