Few more Township Tour pictures



Bo-Kaap, a Muslim area as is known by the brightly colored houses- a tradition inspired by the Malaysian culture as a group of slaves traced back their heritage to Malaysian royalty. The palm tree in the back center is a protected site- the seeds were brought back from a Mecca journey and planted there. There are a number of these protected tree sites around Cape Town.
