Adventures to Find

There are endless things to do in Cape Town…It is an incredible mixture of urban life and natural beauty and all the great adventures and events that go along with each!

There is Greenpoint Stadium – built for the 2010 world Cup – it serves as the main venue for both football matches and concerts all year round. Another great sports spot is Newlands Stadium – lots of rugby matches!

You can also visit the surrounding areas of the city as they are quite beautiful and offer a completely different vibe, culture and scenery….

There is Simonstown and Kalk Bay. Both of which are seaside towns easily accessible by train. These towns are on the way south toward the Cape of Good Hope – a MUST SEE for anyone is Cape Town— and are little fishing towns with a hint of shopping and more delicious food!

Then there is Langa…Langa is one of the oldest suburbs of Cape Town that was originally selected as an area for Black South Africans during apartheid. Here, you find some of the kindest people, smiliest children and eye-opening takes on life…There is a cultural center in Langa that sells local crafts and showcases local talent in the other art forms as well and is something I highly recommend visting. Langa is also home to the first Township Bread and Breakfast (:

Next up is the suburb of Woodstock and the infamous Saturday morning Biscuit Mill extravaganza. Woodstock is a bustling, industrial-like suburb that houses a weekly market, fair-type event each Saturday. The Biscuit Mill offers a lot of different types of cuisines and a chance to chill out and people watch…

Bantry Bay, Clifton 1 through 4, Camp’s Bay and Llandudno are all synonymous with breath taking. These beaches are some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen and are just on the outskirts of the city. Rugged coastlines, silky sand and blue-green water are everywhere you look. The water is freezing but on a hot summer day, it feels perfect! Can get here via mini bus or taxi most easily and is totally worth it! Check it out….
