PLAN OUT YOUR TRAVELS:
-
EAT
Bird's Boutique Café
127 Bree St.
Cape Town City Centre
Cape Town, Western Cape 8001
Bird's Boutique Café, run by potter Frauke Stegmann, is the best combination shop and food. They serve the freshest most extraordinary food and, as she's a potter, everything you eat off of is made by them as well! Don't shy away from the more exotic meats on the menu...but beware not everything tastes like chicken!

SLEEP
Blackheath Lodge
6 Blackheath Road
8005 Sea Point
Cape Town
My friends all love this little spot in Cape Town, the Blackheath Lodge. It's a very special place where you'll always meet interesting people.
Mount Nelson Hotel
76 Orange Street
Cape Town
And you really can't beat drinking white wine at the Mount Nelson Hotel!

SHOP
South Africa has some of the most exciting crafts in the world right now. If you tell them you want 100 of something, they're not interested. They want to make everything by hand and they are open to re-applying their skills in different ways. The only thing that defines what is "South African" is just how creative it can be.
