anewman Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 start looking at what you wanna be doing though, a day on the wine route is well recommended, a trip up the mountain obviously, if you have time, drive the garden route to knysna, fuckin stunning scenary, dunno if they still do it, but you can catch a train to simonstown, an old naval base and along the way you can jump off at various stops and have a few beers and a bite to eat etc been a while since I have been so dont know what the clubs are like, last time i was there i pulled a girl who was a fashion designer/part time model, didnt believe her much til a few months afterwards saw her on the telly hosting some fashion show, gutted wasnt the word at the time hahaha but there are some stunners in cape town v&a waterfront is popular, there a bar called berties landing which gets full of it and you can hop on a boat to the next bar along the quays, think its called green market square in the city, decent around there and very cultural, if you are near the Cape Sun hotel, have a ride in the glass lifts Quote
anewman Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 hahaha total opposite mate, hes one of my sensible mates hes on my facebook, initials CB. spitting image of patrick swayze Quote

anewman Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 kin'ell he does an all! mate, some of the birds he had swarming round him when we were in our 20's were fuckin unbelievable, of course he was the shy type who respected women and wouldnt fuck em, thats where anewman and another scouse mate on facebook AR stepped in and did the dirty work thank you CB hahaha Quote
Spider Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Do the winelands Get a driver once you've landed rather than booking ahead as it's LOADS cheaper. Fucking ace, Cape town. Quote
Boothy Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Remember to go for a walk in the Townships. When in Rome... Quote
Smiley Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Trip to the Cape of Good Hope / Cape Point. Go via Chapmans Peak, return via Simonstown & Boulders Bay (see the penguins). And do a vineyard trip. Knysna is nice little harbour village. 2-3 days drive along Garden Route highly recommended. Hermanus for whale watching & shark diving. It's cheap over there too, great value for food & drink. Quote
anewman Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 I didn't know Smiley had been to SA has smiley been to south africa? Quote
worthy10 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Posted March 1, 2012 I've heard that the garden route is great attraction. Any recommended towns, bays and accommodation. Ta Quote
anewman Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 I've heard that the garden route is great attraction. Any recommended towns, bays and accommodation. Ta hout bay is a must they even have their own passport sunday afternoons, live music and lots of beer Quote
boltondirtbag Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 dont forget a trip to robben island (where nelson mandela was held). Trip not far via a boat but the sea was horrendous when we went . You usually get a tour from a former prisoner. If you want to do this you will need to book as it s a very popular attraction. I ll speak to the wife we ve been a few times but my memories shite.

Guest Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Considering Cape Town to Windhoek drive this autumn Quote
Smiley Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 I've heard that the garden route is great attraction. Any recommended towns, bays and accommodation. Ta Stayed in Knysna for 2 nights. Was quiet but accessible for most of Garden Route. We did the steam train from George to Mossel Bay & a short boat trip out to see some seal island. Would recommend half a day walking around Storms River Mouth, Tsitsikamma National Park, see the "Big Tree". Head up from George to Oudtshoorn for the Cango Caves and if you've time, go ostrich riding, etc. Also - great to drive back to Cape Town from here - along the R62, through the Winelands. Mountain scenery is amazing. Grab lunch in some colonial old time town en-route.... And try not to crash when you pass Ronnie's Sex Shop in the most remote place there is...... it's actually a bar..... we didn't stop as the Pulp Fiction gimp scene was fresh in our minds!!! Quote
Smiley Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Ask anewman about best places - but Wilderness looked a nice place to stay - beach here is amazing! Quote
anewman Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 get a flight to sun city too, highly recommended, have a ride in the lifts in the palace hotel there too Quote
