Cape Town

Our first vacation together was to Cape Town, back in 2016. We loved it! Check out Table Mountain, Lion's Head, the V&A Waterfront, Robben Island, and a plethora of eating, drinking, and shopping options. You can fly from JNB or take a luxury cross-country train ride: http://www.bluetrain.co.za/?page_id=1085.
