Visiting Cape Point

[Alton Turner Blackwood]

I have a few friends staying over this weekend and they'd like to visit Cape Point.

Now I've never been there, so does anybody know what's worth seeing there, costs, etc.

Lots of beautiful, empty beaches where you can get some alone time if you know what I mean.

I can't remember how much it cost but it was about R90, I think. You can go take a photo at the Cape of Good Hope signboard

And there are lots of baboons so bring lots of snacks for them and keep your windows down. Sprinkle a trail of nik naks all the way to your car in the parking lot and wait.

Thanks guys!

Look, if they brought their kids with then you would've had company. Sorry sammy

Thanks chrun! This is something I never even heard of!

Sadly they're Thai, so I reckon they're out. My wife and her sister are taking them so maybe the two of them can apply for themselves as both are born and bred in CT

See above, they're Thai...I'm not even sure if the women...are in fact women!

 

[Keeper]

Walk up, don't take the cablecar.

serious. why rush it all by cablecar if you can have a lekka trip... it's not that far.

 

[Cius]

I found it extremely expensive so did not go in. Sad really as its a nice view. They should make it a lot cheaper for SA ID holders and only charge the tourists and arm and a leg.

yeah everywhere is gone up

robben island is 230 and table mountain is 200

quite pricey

 

[Cius]

This is one of the reasons I have switched from CT as my main holiday destination to Durban. Better value for money. A Cape Town holiday literally costs me double what a Durban one does due to higher accommodation fees, more petrol (not their fault), and more expensive activities. Cape Town is doing a great job at attracting tourists and becoming nice but its sad to see how they are now pricing their own citizens out of the market.

 

[I.am.Sam]

you cant compare the amount of things you can do in dbn compared to cpt

there is so much more to do here

but yes cpt has become quite an expensive holiday destination and thats why i enjoy working during december

Last time I was there I narrowly missed being bitten by a puffadder !!

Is that a euphemism for something?

 

[Alton Turner Blackwood]

My wife I actually went there once, mind you. Some friend of mine wanted me to come hang out with them so I asked my wife to drive my drunk ass there

When we got to the entrance we realised we didn't have any money, so she just drove on all along to town.

You disgusting bastards had that meet at &Union that day and I was so drunk I probably met some of you, but someone told me I'm at the wrong place.

The monday I heard I was at the right place!
