There are few places more lovely than Cape Town in which to spend the New Year. Excellent wine flowed throughout the evening all about the Cape, and the weather, though a bit cooler than is usual for the season, allowed many to dance the night away without getting too sweaty.
I will not say we will be wishing 2009 a fond farewell, but rather breathing a collective sigh of relief that we have weathered the worst of the global economic storm. And is that not reason enough to celebrate?
Entering 2010 in Cape Town, we find the Minstrel Carnival still going strong, and there's a short clip of the minstrels on YouTube. A celebration to commemorate the freeing of slaves in the Cape Colony back in the nineteenth century, it has become a tradition that looks to keep going into the 21st century.
Enjoy these New Year photos from around the Cape, and we will look forward to seeing you soon! After all, the mountains, and all the rest of the Cape's fabulous scenery, will continue to be here for everyone to see...
Remember too that the FIFA 2010 World Cup begins in a mere six months' time, so don't forget to book your accommodation today!
