I didn't think the Table Bay was tired, though I was tired . . . tired of all the squalor we saw in Togo Benin and Angola. But nothing prepared us for the appalling poverty and squalor only a mile or two from these smart Cape Town hotels. Rainbow nation? I think not. I did think the Cape Grace looked a bit dark and stuffy for our taste and we decided against dining there. We wandered into the Mount Nelson and that looked gorgeous. With young kids . . . . mmm, not so sure about either, though the Mount Nelson does have extensive grounds and a big pool.
