Cape Town, South Africa

One of the prettiest cities in the world...

Everybody needs to visit Cape Town at some point in their life! I kept saying to Adam the entire time: it is like the Tel Aviv of Africa. The food is amazing, everything is very affordable (Rand to $ is 14:1), everywhere you look is beautiful, and there is so much to do there. We stayed with Adam’s grandma in Sea Point (the Santa Monica of Cape Town).

Swipe to see some highlights of the trip.

Camps Bay

The Beverly Hills of CPT

Gorgeous real estate, white sand beaches, Bungalow-esque bars and chic restaurants, Camps Bay is where you go to do Cape Town in style.

We went to a rooftop bar called Chinchilla on NYE and it was really fun. There is also a fun club called Cafe Caprice.

Clifton Beach

The best beach in CPT

Clifton 4th Beach is where you go if you want to go chill on the beach. It’s really nice because it’s clean, the sand is SO SOFT, and there people are walking around selling cold drinks and ice cream. Only downside is that the water is literally ICE COLD (since you’re so close to Antarctica). The homes on the beach are just as nice, if not nicer, than Malibu. It’s a beautiful site to see and you can also see Lion’s Head from the beach.

P.S. Get a granadilla lolly.... IYKYK

Lion’s Head

The hardest hike you’ll ever do

2 hours to get to the top! And you have to take chains/ladders at the very top. But worth it for the views!

Boulders Beach

Penguins!!!

So crazy to see penguins, in the wild, chillin’ on the beach. The beach is about an hour away from Cape Town.

Muizenberg Beach

Old colorful changing rooms, the softest sand, and WARM WATER! What’s crazy about Muizenberg is that the water is crazy warm because it comes from the Indian Ocean, unlike Cape Town beaches which are the Atlantic Ocean and the water is basically shared with Antarctica. This beach is only an hour away, but because of its warm water temperature, it is known for having sharks 😬

It was SO WINDY that day...

Table Mountain

The Top of Cape Town

We waited 2 hours to go up in the cable car, but it was so worth it! On one side, you have a crazy view of Lion’s Head, CBD and the Cape Town stadium, and on the other side you can see all of Camps Bay and Clifton.

Stellenbosch

South Africa’s wine country

The Napa of South Africa, Stellenbosch and Frranschoek have hundreds of beautiful wineries to visit. We went to the Delaire Graff Estate, Babylonstoren, and Spice Route.

Oranjezicht City Farm Market @ V&A Waterfront

Every foodie’s dream

This is by far the BEST food market I have ever experienced in my life. There are tons of food stations to try: shakshuka, avocado toast, oysters, chocolate, pastries, bread, samosas... ANYTHING you are hungry for, they have. And the best biltong ever!

They also have a retail section with artisan products, plants, flowers, and home goods.
