Garth owns a tour company and on our journey to Capetown he told us about the history of the area.

They must have known we were coming. There was an MG convention on the lawn.

Muratie is centuries old and much of the original infrastructure, improved on over the years, still exists.

We arrived in Capetown just in time to drop our bags at the hotel and jump on a bus, heading to the Opening Ceremony. This is what we came for!
