We flew up to Capetown from Joburg, picked up a car and drove to Franschhoek, wine train was fantastic value, ate lunch at Glen Carlou, very cheap and very fine dining:
TukTuk bewpub in Franschhoek was good, had a lunch in Boschendal:
Franschhoek is nice, if a little genteel and quiet, popped into Stellenbosch on way back to Capetown and thought it looked lovely, would stay there next time
Capetown was good, felt safer than Joburg, and Uber was v cheap, had great food, wine and beer, staayed in the best AirBnB we've had:
Would recommend Fork Tapas, Tiger's Milk and Beerhouse on Long St, Clerkes on Bree St and had a wonderful meal in Chef's warehouse (walk-in only)
Weather was great for the month, sites and scenery in Capetown were lovely, although a bit short of Art Galleries and Museums - went to Districk 6 Museum (and also Apartied Museum in JB), good, powerful, but really fucking depressing, like Schindler's Factory in Krakow.
Flew home via Istanbul, in two minds about visiting it, maybe a bit dodgy still and lots of others on the long list...
