BOTANICAL GARDEN KIRSTENBOSCH
by LysDor
One of the spectacular features of Kirstenbosch Garden is its location.
Cape Town's Table Top Mountain creates a magnificent background for the beautiful garden of colorful flowers.
Hikers can also enjoy the Garden as three forest trails have been laid out within the boarders of Kirstenbosch. The Stinkwood Trail only takes 45 minutes to hike while the Silver Tree Trail takes three hours passing along the slope of Table Mountain. These trails do not require hiking equipment, only good walking shoes. Those wishing a more strenuous hike can use the Garden as their starting point along and up the eastern face of Table Mountain...
free drumming circle
by iam1wthee
In the summer at the waterfront craft market wellness center from 1pm to 2pm on Saturday there is a free drumming circle held. Its a lot of fun and it releases a lot of tension and stress. I highly recommend it. There are extra drums available in case you do not have one of your own so do not worry.
A bit of everything
by glennkasner about Canal Walk
This mall, the largest in Cape Town caters for everyone and is frequented by tourists and locals alike.
It offers a vast selection at "local" prices as opposed to the "tourist" prices one is charged at a number of shops in the V&A Waterfront Clothing

Malaysia Airlines

Well , this tip is mainly for those who travel from or near Argentina (Chile, Uruguay). This is the cheapest way to travel to South Africa. The flight was very comfortable, and the plane huge, it travels just twice a week, so the tickets are not so easy to get, book in advance.
AFTERNOON TEA
by BerniShand about THE MOUNT NELSON
Afternoon Tea isnt really a meal, its an indulgence, a delight, naughty but oh so nice.
Afernoon Tea at the Mount Nelson surpasses naughty and borders on wicked, the Windsor table in the Tea Lounge practically groans with the weight of the delicious treats loaded onto it every day between 2.30 and 5.30 and you indulge in style to the accompaniament of live music from the piano
Choose a table in the Lounge or the Conservatory, order your choice of tea and then pick up a plate and make your selection from the goodies spread before you. Tiny sandwiches only two bites big, miniature quiches and savoury pasties bursting with flavour, and fine cheeses....then a dilemma..... do you return to the buffet for more savoury treats or do you start to sample the sweet things ? tiny cream horns coated in chocolate, fluffy scones, an amazing mouthwatering selection of fancy cakes and tarts, gateaux and fruit pastries
you try to select just a few but each looks nicer than the next and you seriously wonder how you will eat them all but you give it your best shot, and you carry on eating till you havent got room for another crumb
so there you are, having eaten a `meal` you didnt need, and one with a zillion calories to boot, was it worth it ? oh yes..... its a great experience and The Mount Nelson is one of the top places in the world to do it and very reasonably priced compared to places like The Ritz in London at only R125. One tip if you do try it DONT eat lunch
