Tourism Plans

Friends who've spoken to me in person most recently will understand the following reference...

"Plan A... hmm... *scrap* Okay, Plan B - Tourism!"

I've got a couple of specific sites in mind that I want to visit, besides simply planning to wander the city and depend on my hosts to "show me the sites". Here are just some of them, with prices, hours, and links to sites with more information:

"We have some lovely things planned for your stay, including a couple of day trips to the towns just outside of Cape Town. We'll also go up Table Mountain [down to the beach on less windy days] and visit the hot spots in the city. I'm sure you'll have a great time." -from an email

Mustn't forget shopping (for souvenirs), wine tasting (S.A. is famous for its vineyards), clubbing and the nightlife, and exploiting the mystery of the sacred braai...!
