So Namibia has Walvis Bay to pride itself with. We have plenty of bays to
keep us happy. Forget about Richard’s Bay and Coffee Bay in the eastern part of
the country; save them for another day. What I’m talking about is the Cape
Town’s million of bays (not parking bays). Just imagine the bays in Cape Town
alone; Camps Bay, Bantry Bay, LLuandano Bay and Hout Bay. I could go on all
day. Keep in mind the fact that I haven’t even counted Gordon’s Bay, Betty’s
Bay and all the bays along the garden route. I hope you can now see that as far
as bays are concerned, South Africa need not mourn the loss of Walvis Bay.
Yes, Walvis Bay is a paradise in its own right. But let’s not kid ourselves
people; the bays I’ve mentioned are in a league of their own. Their only
competition is within the borders of South Africa; and definitely not Namibia,
or the landlocked state of Lesotho .
So which of these is the bay of all bays? Is it Betty’s Bay and its serene
beaches, or is it mighty Camps Bay – the land where capitalists stand on their
balconies and wonder how they’ll go about with the acquisition of the ocean?
What about Bantry Bay, the place most Sea Point residents wish to relocate to
one day; could that be the bay of all bay or would Llanduano have a problem
with this? One thing I can tell you about Llanduano is that it makes sure that
the breath Camps Bay took away…doesn’t come back. It’s the place they purposely
forgot to mention when they told you about Cape Town; a trump card of some
sort.
The way I see things, Gordon’s Bay and Hout Bay don’t quite make the standard
set by Camps Bay, Bantry Bay and Llanduano. There is a certain feeling you get
when you’re in Camps Bay; the feeling of never wanting to leave. I don’t feel
that in Hout Bay or Gordon’s bay. The way I see things; this is a three way
contest between Camps Bay, Llanduano and Bantry Bay. But If I had to pick my
bay of all bays, it would definitely be Camps Bay.
