"See Everything Possible" by Lauren Shuler




Top Ten Things You Must Do While in Cape Town:


1. You must hike up Table Mountain. Yes it is a struggle, but the view from the top is absolutely breathtaking.


2. You must dance to the song “Stereo Love” at a bar Long Street. Everybody goes crazy when this song comes on.


3. You must try springbok. While it sounds gross at first, it is actually delicious and taste like pot roast.


4. You must bungee off Bloukrans Bridge. It is the world’s tallest bungee and an adrenaline rush like nothing you have ever felt.


5. You must visit Robben Island. With the apartheid being such a big part of South Africa’s history, you must go see where Nelson Mandela spent most of his time imprisoned.


6. You must ride an elephant. It is amazing to see these massive animals close up. Riding one is a chance of a lifetime.


7. You must visit the Green Market. It is full of great souvenirs. It has everything you could imagine from tapestries to funky tribal jewelry to fun colorful African tunics. Make sure to bargain well with the vendors.


8. You must go eat brunch at Manna Epicure on Kloof Street. This local bakery is decorated so cute and the eggs are to die for. Also they have great homemade bread. YUM.


9. Enjoy an amazing cup of African coffee. Everywhere I go the coffee is so good I can’t get enough of it!


10. Go to Franschhoek wine lands and visit a vineyard. It is a such a cute little town and the drive from there to Cape Town is something out of movie it is so beautiful. It is such a neat experience to get to see how all the wine is made and tasting it is fun too!
