Loved the loud 80s music. We sat on swings round a table and watched the most interesting people come and go, like heavily tatooed bikers and the like. Don't even remember the food, must have been ok.

Parks & Nature
The most magnificent views and there are trails you can follow and a restaurant on top. You can't leave Cape Town without seeing this. The very best is when the sun sets and the moon is rising at the same time. Do not know how you would get this right, we came across it by accident and will stay with me forever.

This place ticks all the boxes. So so special. you can hike for hours up and up until you're at the top of table mountain, or you can wander for hours and hours around the beautiful gardens. You will come across different settings and areas, green lawns and ponds for picnicing, educational displays, restaurants, coffee shop, nursery, bookshop, gift shop there are also guided tours, and a golf cart to lift the elderly/disabled. Definitely one of my favourite places to go to restore my soul. They also have Sunday night live band concerts which are very popular, and open air movies with Galileo Theatre.

A world heritage site, Cape Point is a nature reserve in the Table Mountain National Park, at the tip of the Cape Peninsular. The famous 'Cape of Storms' as it was named by Bartolmeu Dias, can be best be viewed by taking a 3 minute funicular up to the highest point. You can then hike out along the ridge to the very tip of the point, visiting the pristine little beaches and coves along the way, to view the vastness of the ocean at the very tip. Definitely a must-see, one of my favorite places on earth.

A great place to spend a hot day picnicking amongst the rocks on the edge, and swimming in the dam. It is part of the Silvermine Nature Reserve. There is an entrance fee so bringing a picnic and making a day of it is the thing to do. A scenic walkway takes you around the edge of the whole dam.

There is a trail going up to the top. We normally go up from Glencairn Heights, and follow the trail up to the beacon. Its only about 30 mins, and the view from the top is so rewarding for so little effort. You look out at False Bay over Fishoek and Muizenberg to the left and towards Simonstown to the right. you feel on top of the world!

A great effort at blending the architecture and natural wetland, incorporating a sculpture garden, all between busy roads. I love this gallery because it is designed to minimize its environmental impact, feeding back unused energy from its own rooftop solar plant into the local grid, as well as purifying its grey water for its own use. And the art!
