Experiences
When it comes to keeping yourself entertained, you really are spoilt for choice in Cape Town. Sun worshippers won't be disappointed by the squeaky white beaches. If you're an adventure junky, then paraglide off Lion's Head mountain or choose one of the many hikes up Table Mountain. If you're just keen for a few photos, then there is also the cable car to the top. For foodies take an hour's drive to Franschhoek and the mountain framed wine lands. Otherwise, a drive down to Cape Point and a stop off at the Penguins never fails to delight.
