Cape Road Trip : Capetown

How much can you squeeze into a week in Capetown? Firstly, spread yourself around: We stayed with Danie and John in Llandudno, Madeleine and Andrew in Scarborough and Dave and Rene in Claremont.We love visiting friends for meals; thanks Danie and John, Caroline and Steve, Simon and Natalie. Of course, Capetown has amazing restaurants. From being 38th on the waiting list to being offered a table at The Test Kitchen was something of a surprise. It was more of an epic culinary journey than a meal and a great treat from Fred and Terri. The CTFM at the waterfront gets a real thumbs down from us in terms of service and food but we did get to see Freshly Ground at their badly organised music festival. And in between let's add The Pot Luck Club, The Hub, Cafe Paradiso, Harbour House Cafe and the Olympic Bakery.
Another highlight of this trip was a visit to the new Zeitz Museum of contemporary African art.The building is an amazing remodeling of an old silo. I think the Silo Hotel is the most expensive place to stay in Capetown now.
