Pics of Cape Town - Driving down the N2
Ever wonder what the REAL Cape Town is like? We'll be bringing you a series of photos to show you a side of Cape Town that no travel agent would ever dream of showing you.
What you are about to view below is the highway (the N2) you HAVE to take from the Cape Town International airport into Cape Towns CBD and other surrounding areas. This highway is "famous" for people throwing stones/bricks/rocks onto cars passing under the bridges. People have DIED from driving on this highway. Yet you never hear anyone warning tourists about this.
Many thanks go to my friend for taking these while driving at 120km/h. Heaven help any person who gets a flat tyre on this highway...

Above: Notice how all the shacks have free electrcity
Escape Cape Town. Its a third world slum.
