…to be able to enjoy the pool.

Cape Town Tips For Travellers : Must-See and Must-Do Sights and Attractions

…ella, which were ok but not in great condition for US$12. There were a few beach bars for drinks and food, and guys offering jet skis etc. We really liked the beach. The sea was a glorious color like nothing I have seen before, but not as clear as it is in Barbados or Grenada further south. The weather was cloudy but the temperature in the Caribbean seems to be the same all the time and so was a nice 26 degrees Celsius. It started to rain and so w…
