Greetings,
To those of you who would like information about tourist attractions and
destinations in the Cape Town area, CAPTOUR an tourist information organisation
is contactable on the internet. They can supply many brochures on the area and
can recommend hotels, B&B's, holiday apartments etc and all the information
you require if you are planning a trip to Cape Town.
I am not too sure how responsive the email number is as I have not tried it
but I thought there would be some of you that might find it useful.
CAPTOUR: captour@africa.com
Regards,
Ian
