Table Mountain was an amazing experience, It was such an beautiful view from the top, you can see all of Cape town. It was a good first sight to see. Make sure to wear tons of Sun block, because i clearly didnt wear enought and got severly burnt, and had a burnt face for the remaing 5 weeks of my trip. There is a restaurant, and gift shop on top of course. But overall it was amazing.

This is a quaint little beach which has calm water to swim in and snorkelling is a very popular activity. It’s a great beach to take a good book and laze about in the summer sun.

To view the penguins you will have to walk past the main beach and follow the boardwalk to the designated penguin beach.
