This letter touched all the citizens of Cape Town, and the Cape Town Council held a special discussion on "whether to demolish or leave the broken bridge", and after heated debate, a consensus was finally formed, respecting the wishes of the deceased's family and the opinions of all citizens, and the council made a special provision: to keep the broken bridge.

No one is allowed to dismantle it. The successor director chose to take office under the "broken bridge", vowing to mend the shame, and the mayor at the time handed him a small box containing a small piece of concrete on the broken bridge. In the decade since, Cape Town has one of the lowest engineering accident rates in the world.

It was only the second day of arriving in Cape Town, but Yunluo's eyes and heart were shocked, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, naturally can not be wronged taste buds.

Back at the hotel, Nalan Shiqi showed his skills and prepared, took out the 3-section lobster tail bought in the seafood supermarket, stir-fried the meat, and cooked the rice in the shell; 4 large scallops, no garlic, no shallots, no tempeh, not even a piece of vermicelli, completely steamed, original and tender; Plus two vegetables, it seems simple but has an incomparable connotation.

Although it didn't rain today, the fog was very heavy, and when we came to Victoria & Alfred Waterfront ("A" in the road map), the boat docked quietly at the pier, walking along the embankment, and could not see the sea at hand, but the ∝ seabird still maintained its habit, either leisurely looking ahead, or leisurely walking.

Walking through the ancient Greek anti-wave resistance, a majestic building with a simple atmosphere but a rustic style comes into view, which is the representative of Cape Town's top hotel - thetablebay. The hotel was grandly opened on 30 May 1997 and was presided over by the then President of South Africa.

A commemorative plaque hangs at the entrance. The hotel, which is part of the famous "PALACE" and is known for "setting the top standards of five-star hotel service, gastronomy and luxury". Chinese leaders stayed here, and it is said that the hotel at that time did not affect the normal stay of other guests.

A number of so-called special requests were refused. It also ensured the safety of the lives of the leading comrades. On this side of the pier is the back entrance of the hotel, walking through a delicate European-style corridor.

Entering the hotel lobby, I was instantly attracted by a small but luxurious dining area, which should be the place where friends strongly recommend Yunluo to drink afternoon tea, and the afternoon tea here - r97/person, I really have the urge to come back and sit down in the afternoon.

Walk through the hotel. Walking out of the main entrance is shoppingmall, maybe it's still early, the mall is still a little deserted, walk to the outdoor corridor, the sun has been shining a little, Yunluo wants to go to Chapmansroad again ("B" in the road map), although Nalan Shiqi is not very interested in "revisiting the old place", but Xiao Zhou is happy to open again.

Today there are significantly more cars on this road, and there are quite a few motorcycles and bicycle teams. Unfortunately, the sun still hasn't fully revealed its face, and the scenery is still not good, but the road is destined for an innate charm that will not disappoint no matter how many times you ride here.

In order to avoid too many tours in the wineries of Stellenbosch, I chose to stay in Franschhoek in the evening, but did not research the wineries there beforehand. And Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo are not experts in tasting red wine, they just want to buy 1 or 2 bottles of better taste. So I asked Xiao Zhou to recommend one.

The winery is located on the side of the road, the gate is very magnificent, I forgot to look at the name when I entered, a long path is beside a large vineyard, the mountains in front of it, the scenery is infinitely good.

There wasn't much in the tasting area. If you simply taste wine, there are 2 flavors, 3 flavors, and 4 flavors to choose from, and the wine being tasted is specified, and the wine added is relatively good, if you buy more than R100. You can taste 2 kinds for free; Over R200, you can taste 3 kinds for free.

Over R300, you can taste 4 kinds for free. Yunluo tasted 2 kinds first, one red and one white, the taste is not very like, Nalan Shiqi likes a sweeter taste, the staff gave another white wine for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to taste, although Nalan Shiqi wanted to buy red wine, but instantly liked the taste of the bottle of white grapes, r155, the money for wine tasting is free.

There are two places to choose after lunch, "Moyo" and "Thegalley", although these two are restaurants frequented by tour groups, but they have been recommended by netizens, "Moyo" has 4 in Cape Town and nearby areas, Yunluo booked a branch of Stellenbosch on the official website in advance, because there are treehouse seats, which is more distinctive.

Lunch is buffet, R195/person; "Thegalley" is located on the seaside of Fishhoek ("C" in the road map), and the lobster is the main product, and the most expensive set menu costs more than 400 rand; After weighing it, I still couldn't resist the temptation of seafood and chose the latter.

It took a lot of effort to find this restaurant, as it was tucked away in a paid beach area with no specific address, and it took several local people to find it.

In addition to the foreigners who came to the beach to play in the restaurant, there were two or three teams from the mainland and Xiangjiang City, who had studied the menu on the Internet in advance, and asked for the two largest set meals.

But the taste is a little disappointing, the lobster is far less big than the photos posted by others I saw on the Internet, and Nalan Shiqi doesn't like the cooking method of frying, the only thing that satisfies is that the three of them have eaten it and packed a lot.

Leaving Fishhoek also means the end of the first stop, Cape Town, towards Franschhoek (the "D" in the route map), a prelude to the Garden Route.

In 1688, 176 French Huguenots fled religious persecution, and soon the Dutch colonial government named it "Lecoinfrangais" and later "Franschhoek", both referring to "French Corner". The refugees brought with them French grape grows, winemaking, architecture and lifestyle.

He built his own farms and gave them French names, most of the first farms are still preserved to this day, continuing the family winemaking industry, and the family surname is the brand of wine, so most of the wines here have French names.

And almost all of those farms have their own moving stories, and you can learn more stories in the museum in the center of the town, but unfortunately Xiao Zhou sent the clouds to that time, the museum was closed, and you could only walk around outside, which was quite a "hundred herb garden" flavor.

The booked guestcottage is called "lagaliniere", it is a small vineyard winery, the name is very French, but the owner is an Englishman, bought this winery a few years ago and converted it into a family hotel, a little distance from the town center, the boss said it was 1 km, so Xiao Zhou sent Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to the museum.

It's back to Cape Town. Yunluo wandered back with Annie and Joe, and there were several very beautiful restaurants on both sides of the road, and the legendary Michelin was probably one of them, but unfortunately it was a Sunday, and many restaurants were closed.

In front of the ice cream parlor, Annie and Joe ask the locals about the better restaurants nearby, and after getting the answer, they decide to go there for dinner and Yunluo goes back alone. Xiao Zhou said that the security in this town was okay, but he still repeatedly told him to return to the hotel before dark, and watched the sun set.

Yunluo was alone again, and couldn't help but speed up his pace, but he always felt that the 1 kilometer was so long, and it was getting farther and farther away from the town center, and the road was getting more and more desolate.

Finally, 10 minutes later, I saw the logo of the hotel and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. Although it is a family hotel, the security measures are very good, there is an electronic access control system outside the gate, the owner will give the remote control of the big iron gate at the same time as giving the key, and there are two big dogs in the yard, one male and one female.

Very tame. Although this family hotel is only 3*, Yunluo booked a two-bedroom room that can accommodate 4 people, no breakfast, no wifi, R1100/night, bedroom, living room are very spacious, kitchen facilities are also impeccable, each room also comes with a bottle of home-brewed red wine, all the way back to Sihai City.

Still in the wine closet, this small farm is very pleasant, regardless of the taste of the wine, and in addition to grapes, figs, plums and other fruits are grown here, which are very sweet.

I made an appointment with Xiao Zhou at 10 o'clock to accept Lan Shiqi and Yunluo, but I woke up naturally before 8 o'clock, and when I walked out of the room, Nalan Shiqi had already been exercising outside.

After breakfast, there was still plenty of time, and I also went to the yard for a small stroll, and a few drops of light rain fell in the sky, but because there is no air pollution here, even the rain is very clean, which has been applied for a few days ago.

It is said that the clothes that are dried outdoors by the locals may not be washed again if they are wet in the rain, and they will be put on when they are dried.

At 9:30, Annie and his group of 4 set off first, and Yunluo went to the house where the boss lived to settle the bill. I had heard that the boss's residence was very chic, and when I entered the house, I was stunned for a moment.

The high beams and large floor-to-ceiling windows directly outline the atmosphere of European architecture, and the hard decoration is simple, but the exquisite antique furniture and various travel collectibles directly reflect the taste and preferences of the owner. (To be continued.) )
