2. History of Chapman's Peak Drive. Chapman's Peak is named after John Chapman, the Captain's mate of an English ship the Consent. The peak which looms overhead was not named after a governor or brave mountaineer, but a lowly ship's pilot.

3. It is known for its spectacular scenery. It was originally named the Cape of Storms by Portuguese explorer Bartholomew Dias in 1488. It was later renamed, by King John II of Portugal, the Cape of Good Hope because of the great optimism engendered by the opening of a sea route to India and the East.

4. The original lighthouse was built in 1859 on Da Gama Peak, the summit of Cape Point, 238m above sea level. This made it very ineffective in mist which mandated the establishment of the second lighthouse at 87 meters. The newer lighthouse, built in 1914, is the most powerful on the South African coast.

About Kaapstad

Kaapstad ligt tussen de Tafelberg en de zee: een opvallende stad van stranden, wijngaarden, pinguïns en geschiedenis bij de zuidwestpunt van Afrika.

De platte top van de Tafelberg torent boven alles uit, te bereiken met de kabelbaan of via wandelpaden, met de Lion's Head en Signal Hill aan weerszijden. Beneden bruist de V&A Waterfront rond de werkende haven, en vanaf daar vertrekken boten naar Robbeneiland, waar Nelson Mandela achttien jaar gevangen zat. De kleurrijke huizen van Bo-Kaap klimmen tegen de hellingen boven het stadscentrum en de Company's Garden.
