If you've ever strolled through the charming streets of Cape Town, you've probably stumbled upon the Bo-Kaap neighborhood. And if you have, you couldn't have missed the breathtakingly colorful houses that adorn this historic area. But what's the story behind these eye-catching facades?

In the morning we did a sightseeing tour in a taxi and a driver named „Mambo“. The weather was nice and we drove up to the cable car at „Table Mountain“ as the first stop. It was quite busy already but with „Fast Lane“ tickets we got up there in no time at all. The walkways on top of the mountain are neatly laid out and the views are fantastic in every direction. Mambo told us the stories of the various wars between the English, the Dutch (Boers or now Afrikaner), the Germans and French. It all explains why the various regions in South Africa are strongholds of the languages of the colonialists. Afrikaans in the Cape region, German in Namibia, English on the Garden Route towards Kwa Zulu Land and French in the wine regions.

We then continued to the City Centre and walked through the „Bokaap“ quarter and downtown. The „Bookap“ quarter was inhabited in the past by Asian slaves brought in to work on the Dutch farms. Now the quarter is known for its Muslim population. The support for the Palestinian case can be seen everywhere. Mambo argued the case with the similarity of the Palestinian situation with Apartheid. Downtown is a mixture of English colonial style, Dutch and modern buildings. We walked through a wonderful park with trees from all over the world. Everything was very clean and well kept. We ended the tour at the Dutch fortress in the middle of the towns. Entrance was free. Inside there were various stands selling all sorts of local crafts, music, food stands, etc.

After coming back to the hotel it started pouring down and we opted for a light lunch before checking on the car. We were relived when Bruno showed us a picture of it loaded onto a trailer and sure enough it arrived in one piece 15 minutes later! After unloading it we met some new rally people. Most of them are from Belgium. We have to brush up our French!

In the evening we have a reservation at the the „Pot Luck Club“ an offspring of the famous „Test Kitchen“ which closed its doors during the pandemic. Thanks Don Alfredo for the recommendation!

Best

Loved staying along the cobblestone streets of the colorful Bo-Kaap neighborhood. Checked into a 160-year-old home turned into a charming 5-room boutique hotel where I was welcomed by a neighbor's cat and enjoyed wonderful hospitality, breakfasts, and views of Table Mountain 🐈⛰️🍍 Thank you, Batsi! 🇿🇦

Mit #EPISODE48 geht die #Podcast🎙️- #Retro-Show „ALS FUSSBALL NOCH ROCK’N’ROLL WAR“⚽🎸🕺 am 11. Januar 2024 weiter.

Der Titel der #Folge28 lautet: „Die Deutsche Wüste“.

Auf unserer #Kreuzfahrt🛳️ von Nord nach Süd, waren wir nun im #Südatlantik. Wir kamen zur Insel #Ascension 🇸🇭, eine #Vulkaninsel ohne indigene Bevölkerung, dafür aber mit jeder Menge Abhöreinrichtungen der #NSA. Aber auch Brutplatz der #Suppenschildkröten🐢. Nächster Stopp war ein Platz, den man aus dem Geschichtsunterricht noch kannte, #StHelena 🇸🇭. 1815 Verbannungsort für #NapoleonBonaparte.

Es ging zurück Kurs Süd-Ost an die Südwest-Küste #Afrikas, nach #Namibia 🇳🇦. Erster Hafen war dort #WalvisBay.  Hier viel deutsche Geschichte. Das Gebiet war von 1884 „Schutzgebiet“ #DeutschSüdwestafrika und sodann bis zum Ende des ersten Weltkrieges deutsche Kolonie. Wir stießen hier auch noch auf sehr viele Relikte aus dieser Zeit.

Aber zunächst ging es in die #Namib, einem der unwirtlichsten Orte des Planeten. Am Rande der Namib kamen wir auch nach #Swakopmund. Die Stadt gilt bis heute als „deutscheste“ Stadt Namibias. Und es ging auch im nächsten Hafen, #Lüderitz, weiter mit deutscher Kultur in Südwestafrika.

In #Folge29 und dem Titel „Am Kap der Guten Hoffnung, hoffen auf Hannover 96“ erreichten wir den Endpunkt unserer Seereise, #Kapstadt 🇿🇦.

Ein Empfang wie aus dem Bilderbuch mit Blick auf den #Tafelberg und strahlend blauem Himmel. Kapstadt ist wohl eine der faszinierendsten Städte der Welt. Alles im Programm: #VAWaterfront, #LongStreet, #HoutBay, #CampsBay, #GreenPointLighthouse und natürlich #M6, atemberaubende Route dort an der Steilküste entlang. Unser Hotel für das Nachprogramm lag im bunten Stadtviertel #BoKaap. Es ging natürlich auch auf die #KapHalbinsel, #CapePoint und dann zum markanten Holzschild mit der Aufschrift in Africaans: „Kaap die Goeie Hoop“. Hier bat ich um Hoffnung für #Hannover96.

#Folge30 „Abstieg auf allen Ebenen“, zeigt dann leider das alles Hoffen nichts genützt hat für die #Roten. Es ging wieder ab in die 2. Liga.

Ich hatte auch eine ziemlich intensive Debatte mit dem damaligen #Sportchef der größten hannoverschen #Tageszeitung🗞️, einen doch sehr infantilen Zeitgenossen, der dann wohl auch seinen Posten räumen musste. Für mich aber auch Anlass, einmal über #Medien und #Journalismus zu philosophieren, denn den ausgewogenen, unabhängigen, objektiven Journalismus, wie ich ihn noch zu Zeiten von #PetervonZahn, #ThiloKoch, #DagobertLindlau und #MichaelVermehren kannte, die mir Werte vermittelt, #Gesellschaftsordnungen erklärt, die mir #Meinungsfreiheit und #Meinungsvielfalt näher gebracht haben, gibt es schon lange nicht mehr. Ein Beispiel aus dem Sport ist das heuchlerische #Pamphlet „#11Freunde“.

Vielleicht gibt es hier wieder Erkenntnisgewinn, einfach mal reinhören und viel Spaß dabei.

A Rainbow of Heritage: The Origins

The Bo-Kaap, which means "Above the Cape" in Afrikaans, is one of Cape Town's oldest neighborhoods. Its roots trace back to the 1760s when the Dutch and French Huguenots settled in the area. However, it's not just the age of the neighborhood that makes it special; it's the people and their culture.
