The helicopter lifts off from the V&A Waterfront with the harbor shrinking beneath you—containers, sailing masts and a scattering of early ferries—while Table Mountain unrolls like a solid, flat back against the city. The pilot banks gently and the coastline becomes a ribbon: Clifton’s white beaches, Camps Bay’s palm-lined strip, the jagged spine of the Twelve Apostles.
