Simon's
Town is a village and a naval base in South Africa, near Cape Town.
It is located on the shores of False Bay, on the eastern side of the Cape
Peninsula. For more than two centuries it has been an important naval base
and harbour (first for the Royal Navy and now the South African Navy).
False Bay is located to the southeast of Cape Town but to the west of Cape
Agulhas and Simon's Town is consequently located roughly on the border
between the Atlantic and the Indian oceans. The town is named after Simon
van der Stel, an early governor of the Cape Colony. The land rises steeply
from near the water's edge and the picturesque village is boxed in along
the shoreline by the heights above. The small harbour itself is not a particularly
good natural harbour and is protected from swells by a breakwater that
was built with thousands of huge blocks of sandstone quarried out of the
face of the mountain above. Simon's Town is now in effect a suburb of greater
Cape Town. It is the terminus of a railway line that runs south from the
central business district of Cape Town. In places the railway line hugs
the steep eastern shore of False Bay quite spectacularly and in bad weather
foam from some heavy swells will fly up and wet the trains! One of
the best beaches on the Cape Peninsula, Boulders Beach, is located a few
kilometres to the south of Simon's Town. Here small, secluded coves with
white sandy beaches and calm, safe, warm, shallow waters are interspersed
between huge rounded boulders of Cape granite that form low cliffs and
small caves. There has been a colony of African penguins at Boulders Beach
since 1985. There is no record of the birds having lived here prior to
that date, so their decision to settle in an area already well-utilized
by humans is remarkable. There are only three penguin populations on the
mainland in southern Africa. (The others are on islands).

Somerset

Strand. The town is overlooked by the imposing Helderberg (meaning
"clear mountain"), a part of the Hottentots-Holland range of mountains.
Somerset West has a fairly decorative display of Christmas lights erected
atop the street lights of the Main Road. The Helderberg Lights Festival
(aka the Strawberry Festival), a flea market and parade, normally complements
these lights. The area also has its own community radio station,
Radio Helderberg, broadcasting community notices and playing adult orientated
pop music.
The
Helderberg Nature Reserve, a 363 hectare natural wildlife preserve opened
in 1964, contains a wide variety of smaller fauna (buck, tortoises and
other reptiles) and outstanding specimens of indigenous flora such as protea
and fynbos. Somerset West contains a number of sporting facilities
including several golf courses. The historic town of Stellenbosch
is reachable via the R44 motorway. The area between Somerset West and Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch
is South Africa’s second oldest town, after Cape Town and is the sentimental
heart of the Winelands. Lined with shady oaks and beautiful gabled, white-washed
buildings the streets of Stellenbosch still have small irrigation channels
on either side of the older roads. In the past, these were used to water
gardens, as each householder had a time slot in which to divert the town’s
irrigation into their plot.
It
is very cultural and somewhat venerable town, while also displaying a decidedly
young and vibrant air. There are some interesting museums and many of the
buildings, including some of the hotels and restaurants, are national monuments
and deserve a second look. There is good mountain biking just outside the
town, and there are golf courses aplenty, but Stellenbosch is really all
about wine.
The
town is virtually surrounded by fabulous cellars where you can do a tasting,
join a cellar tour, stock up your own personal cellar, and perhaps enjoy
a lovely leisurely lunch in the shade of some typical Stellenbosch oaks.
Some of the wine farms have become multi-purpose resorts with theatres,
restaurants, equestrian centres and much much more. Stellenbosch
is close to Cape Town so it can be visited on a day trip, or you could
do a day trip to Cape Town or the Overberg from
Stellenbosch. The nearest beach is at Strand. More

Wellington
is a town in the Western Cape Winelands just to the north of Paarl, in
South Africa with a population of approximately 55 000. Wellington's economy
is centered around the wine and brandy industry. With a picturesque environment
and numerous award winning wineries, Wellington's tourism industry has
started to blossom. The town is located 75km north-east of Cape Town, reached
by the N1 motorway and R44 highway. The town is at the base of one of the
oldest mountain passes in the country, Bain's Kloof Pass, built by master
road-builder Andrew Geddes Bain.
The
town is the home of the Boland Rugby Union and the professional rugby team
the Boland Kavaliers. The town is also an academic centre, with Huguenot
College, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Bible Media and Huguenot
High School amongst others.
Up to 2003, the residents
of Wellington, and those unfortunate to be passing by on a day when the
wind blew the wrong way, knew full well that another industry for which
Wellington is famous is the leatherworks, responsible for Wellington's
other name, "Smellington". This leatherworks produces some of the finest
leathers in the country numbering BMW amongst others as customers.
The beauty of the area, however, far outweighs the temporary discomfort
that was experienced when passing the leather factory. The pass up to Bains
Kloof winds thru pine tree plantations, to the summit where on a clear
day you can see forever (where forever consists of the swartland to the
right, home of the vast wheat fields, the cape flats and Cape Town to the
right, and the sun glimmering on the sea.
