You pull away from Cape Town’s traffic and the city falls behind: Atlantic light sharp on the car’s metal, Table Mountain receding like a map folded back into the land. The private Audi A5 Sportsback hums along the coastal road, and within an hour the ocean’s salt and seagull calls replace the city’s pulse.
