Cape Town is built in a bowl between the mountain and the sea. This day goes up to the top, then down into the streets to show how the city got here, from the Castle to District Six to Bo-Kaap.
We check the weather first and set the order around it, because the cableway runs only when the wind allows.
A slow coffee at a corner café in District Six with someone whose family was moved out of it, and is now coming back.
