Thank you Jason for your comments. I love ostrich meat too, very tasty and healthy as well.

A wonderful drive providing some beautiful landscapes. I especially like the Swellendam photo. Ostrich farms just seem so strange, but ostrich tastes great!

For those of you that don’t know about The African Music Store, it houses a huge range of African music. Located at 134 Long Street.

Just an update on shopping in the V&A as the locals call it, or the Waterfront. There are so many shops selling African products. Special mention are some uniquely South African made products that are worth checking out. One is Charlotte Rhys, she makes a wonderful range of soaps, creams and chocolates – I absolutely love her creams. Another is a store called RAIN. Rain make heavenly bath products. An interesting store for those who like high quality linens is Nocturnal Affair.

Hi Wil – thanks for your comments, Keith did a wonderful job showing the beauty of the Cape Peninsula and Western Cape, thank you Keith!

Thanks for the tips on your favorite spots and activities. I love the Chapman’s Peak drive too, so beautiful. One restaurant to check out on this drive is Harbour House – they really do amazing things. One of our clients went there for a honeymoon lunch, which we booked so HH knew it was their honeymoon, and their table was scattered with red rose petals. Lovely.

The greater Cape Town area is one of my favorite road trip travel places in the world. Thanks, Keith, for writing up such a great experience about a place that’s dear to me.

If I could throw in my opinion on one thing: I personally didn’t find V&A Waterfront gorgeous at all. It does have a superb aquarium and some good restaurants but mostly it’s a large shopping mall (albeit a scenically located one) of the sort you can find in many western cities. A few of my favorite Cape Town spots/actives: The Green Dolphin jazz club, the drive to Chapman’s Peak, the District 6 museum, the African Music Store, a tour with African Buzz Scooters and whatever’s playing at the Labia theatre.
