Mahe in the Seychelles was beautiful in the '60s. Don't know what it's like now, we were only carrying the equipment for the port/airport development

Visited Capetown several times on Moss Tankers like Luminetta luminetta a.jpg

Got to admit Capetown and New York take a lot of beating.
Photos below from a drilling rig in Capetown for repairs looking towards Table mountain and looking down from Table mountain. (2002)
The one of the QE2 was taken early in the morning I was on a containership and just got out of bed in the morning went for a walk on deck and saw the QE2 berthing. (1976)

That view of Table Mountain was the view from my cabin window so many times in the three or four years trading that coast on an oil products tanker. It's a view that can't be beaten - some others may come close but I have yet to find them!
