April 17, 2014

Is there anything more perfect than Cape Town in the Summer?

Over December, the sun comes out, beach umbrellas pop, wetsuits hang from balconies as their sun-kissed owners relax with G&Ts. There is a distinct holiday mood that runs through the city – night clubs stay open late, winers and diners pour out onto the lit up streets. It’s a time for eating, drinking and being merry. Hotels and guesthouses are filling up rapidly as travellers the world over head to the Mother City’s shores. Trying to book over the festive season in Cape Town can be as impossible as Santa Clause trying to fit down a chimney.
