Creator's Key Takeaways
We did not know what to expect from Cape Town and it was truly one of the most magnificent places we've been.
The view from the top is just stunning. You you can't even describe what's going on.
It is very important that you go if you know the story. This is where Nelson Mandela and political prisoners of apartheid were imprisoned.
It was a day event. It was very worth the time and money that we invested in it.
