I would also recommend hiking up Table Mountain. There are trails of varying levels of difficulty to suit all types of people. I'd also recommend the penguins at Boulders and having a sunset drink at La Med on Clifton Beach for some panaromic views of the Ocean and Mountains. You have to jump in the ocean water while you are there as well. Extremely cold! Cape Town is my favorite city, it is stunning and has so much to offer.

Off the beaten track tips: Rent a convertible and drive to Worcester to go sailplane flying. The guys over there love to tkae you up for some Rand. Visit Murati wine estate, not touristic like the others, but it's the oldest and has the wonderful Ansela vd Kaab red wine. Go to Hermanus, take a boat and get submerged in the cage. The Great Whites are waiting for you. Oh dear I really want to go back again. Cheers and tx for the stroll through memory lane. Wouter. Hey Keith,

District 6 and township tours are for anyone who wants to learn about South Africa beyond the gorgeous scenery and delve into its political and social issues. Boulder Beach is phenomenal because of the penguins. Not in Cape Town proper, but a nice 45 minute drive out. Prices there are great too!
