Cape Town is overlooked by majestic Table Mountain and after a cable car ride up to the top, we enjoyed an afternoon walking around, enjoying the views.

Camps Bay was a favourite beach – huge ocean pool with the beautiful mountain range in the background and it was easy passing time at the local cafes and street markets.

We then went on a road trip exploring the Garden route, which spans Mossel Bay to Gqeberha.  We did some fun activities along the coast – wine tasting, zip line, hikes, Addo Elephant park, climbing, but the driving days were long and tiring and we took the opportunity to have some slow days too.
