Out of Africa

I left Cape Town yesterday (depending on which time zone I count) to fly to Indonesia—which is almost the same travel distance as I originally came from San Francisco. Thank goodness Cape Town didn’t disappoint because it wasn't exactly on the way.

It is one of those cities like San Francisco and like Rio that is just naturally, visually stunning and is filled with people who are just infectious. I am planning to write several posts for TechCrunch about the entrepreneurship there, you know, when I get five minutes to sit and write something. (Well, something smart.)

In the meantime, some closing images of two of the things I loved about Cape Town.

The crustaceans:

And a rotating trolley car ride up Table Mountain. Best part of this video may be the semi-inane tourist banter in the background. It’s the same everywhere isn’t it?

The weird thing was that I was in no way scared, even though I was terrified when I went to Sugar Loaf mountain in Rio. Must have been all those shady Endeavor entrepreneurs I was with…;)

My big regret is that I didn’t go to Robben Island on this trip, especially since I’d just finished Nelson Mandela’s biography and watched Invictus on the plane. But I only had one sunny day and not enough time. Hoping I get an excuse to come back and bring Mr. Lacy.
