Table Mountain has great views
by rachel_sun
Table Mountain ...i did not go up Table Mountain by cable car as there was a huge que.We walked up instead.The views are fantastic.I saw loads of beautiful plants flowering.There are over 1400 species of plants on Table Mountain.We also saw these strange rodents(related to elephants)at tho top the the mountain,which we fed.
Because the mountain is 1000m high,the views are great.I enjoyed the restaurant and shop at the top too.I found the marked walking routes good.The Cape Doctor is a south-easterly wind which blows on the cape and forms a cloth like looking cloud over Table Mountain.It looks quite strange.

African Wire Art
by JohanIsWeg about V&A Craft Market & Wellness Centre
The Craft Market is located in Cape Town's Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. It provides an outlet for African wire art, which originated as roadside business ventures. A spectacular array of colourful woven animals adorn the walls alongside elaborate decorative pieces. Beaded amphibians (frogs) and reptiles (akkedisse, geckos) make a fantastic vocal point on the lounge wall. Varies according to size, materials and complexity.
Car hire
by rachel_sun
You can rent cars in Cape Town and the roads are good and not too busy.We used my husbands sisters car and found driving around the Cape very easy,but we did get lost several times when we had a night out and then tried to find our way back in the dark.Do buy a good map.
Gourmet Hotel Dining
by TRimer about Azure
We loved the dining experience at Azure so much that we ate there twice in four days. Inside the restaurant is lovely. Both times we were given seats by the windows looking out at the water and the sunset. The room is decorated very modern with African influences. There is blue lighting throughout the room. On a nice day, we would have been able to dine outside on the terrace overlooking the water. The chef, Roberto de Carvalho, was a Regional finalist for chef of the year 2003, 2004, 2005. Chaine des Rotiseurs. The restaurante won the Gold Medal in the Salon Culinaire at Food and Hotel Africa.
My husband, a year later, still talks about his first meal at Azure. He had the Grilled Seafood Platter which consisted of langoustines that were almost full sized lobsters, crayfish, black tiger prawns, a piece of fresh line fish of the day, grilled calamari tubes, and mussels in a saffron, garlic and chardonnay sauce. He tells everyone that his dish was not on skewers but on harpoons. I had the Chicken Masala made in the Malay style which was so good. I typically don't like curries but this was a sweet curry with coconut flakes. I am getting hungry just thinking about it.
