Quizás llega, tal vez no, no avisa o nadie lo espera, tampoco lo quieren ver. Todos se reúnen y comparten tranquilos la cena, hablan, juegan, toman y nadie lo menciona, no le sirven de comer ni de beber, se sienten extraños y no saben por qué. Ese día llegó más temprano a la cena de familia que se hacía mensualmente, y se sentó en su asiento, pues cada miembro de la familia ocupaba un lugar específico, tradición esta heredada de su abuelo paterno.

La chica se balanceaba hacia delante apoyando el pie izquierdo sobre el tubo metálico que estaba pegado en la parte baja del mostrador y que se suspendía como a un pie del suelo. Cada vez que tenía que cobrar una factura o servir una cerveza o un trago, elaboraba la factura y la copia la introducía en una espina de acero de aproximadamente 7 pulgadas que tenía la punta fina como una aguja, ubicada encima del mostrador a la izquierda, a la altura de su pecho; el original lo agarraba con un gancho parecido a un clic y lo introducía en unos pequeños cuadritos de madera ubicados por dentro del mostrador a su derecha, a la altura de su boca, eran 45 cuadritos exactamente la cantidad de mesas que habían en el local.

Cape Town’s history is always going to be linked to European powers arriving at different times and assuming a role on the bottom of Africa. The English played a major role in the history of the country, but more so in Cape Town. If you head out to Simon’s Town on the false bay, this British style neighbourhood is a great example of Colonial South Africa. Home to the Naval base of South Africa, the most popular penguin colony at Boulders Beach and right by the Cape Point National Park, there is much to see and do in Simon’s Town.

The Cape of Good Hope is located at the southern tip of the Cape Peninsula, which is also home to Cape Town, the legislative capital of South Africa. The Cape was originally named the Cape of Storms in the 1480s by the Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias. It was later renamed to Good Hope to attract more people to the Cape Sea Route that passed the southern coast of Africa. The Cape eventually became a significant port and waypoint point for sailors traveling from Europe to Asia. However, the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 provided a much shorter route from the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean, making the long trip around Africa inefficient.

The Blyde River Canyon is a 26km long Canyon located in Mpumalanga, South Africa.
