Packing List
by cosmopolit
Speaking for myself only I usually travel with a holdall as single item. It's about 10-13kg and nicely goes as handluggage which means NO checked in luggage to wait for upon arrival!! As I don't want to waste precious time at the airport. Travelling between october and march just very light stuff will do. In case you'll still have the wintergear that you wore coming from northern hemisphere e.g. long trousers, sturdy shoes.
Other months it might get quite cold july in particular where temperature easily can reach or go below freeze. For a few days only, that is.
Cape of Good Hope

This is the one trip that everyone seems to make: the 90-minute drive from Cape Town along the spectacular, twisting coastal highway to the Cape of Good Hope, the point where two great oceans meet. It's not actually Africa's most southerly point; that is Cape Agulhas, farther to the east. Don't dismiss the warning signs at the Cape - the baboons can be very aggressive.

Sorry folks, have to admit I missed definitely almost all hangout places as I was quite often invited to private braais.
But again:
Café Dharma
Not only the restaurant and food is excellent, the bar is fantastic.
(Bar keepers and people being there - mhm)
Actually, Dharma´s got the BA award for being THE hang out place in Cape Town.
I loved it!!! none! Not even slightly.
It is a casual place. There are lots of surfers in there, cooooooool!
In the heart of the docks
by payasouk about Panama Jack's
A ramshackle, unpromising looking building down in the docks (Take a taxi), but don't be fooled - lobster, crab, abalone, etc to die for. And very reasonably priced. Lobster straight out of the tank. Choose your own.
