I came across this map was by Coley Porter Bell. Truly amazing detail into an imaginary Cape Town underground. Note the landmark restaurants and clubs mentioned along the tube lines, as well as the improved integrated transport of Waterfront Fairies and interchanges from overground rail to underground to busses.

I recently went with a friend along the South line towards Simonstown. Paying R17 for a round-trip really is a bargain. Here are some of the best pics from the train:

Some pictures of the venue for The Killers and Elton John. Parking was horrific, but a spectacular setting for a brilliant concert. It was held on Val De Vie polo estate outside Paarl.
