What to do in Cape Town : Level 3

[PPLdude]

Hey guys,

What have you been doing, specifically in Cape Town, during level 3 of lockdown?

Would love some ideas.

Would love some ideas.

Staying at home?

smoking weed?

Doing long-put-off stuff around the house and garden.

stay at home as mentioned
going to a friends holiday house in Pringle Bay once, going again this Thursday
went last weekend to Theewaterskloof to camp on my own for a few nights

Basically avoiding Cape Town as much as possible coz there are too many idiots walking around on the mountain without masks etc, and the thought of going to a restaurant does not appeal to me one bit at all

Will venture back into the social scene in Cape Town again once Covid19 is over

me too, done tons of stuff i have been meaning to get around to for the last 10 years, literally !!
i even found a case of beer in my garage this morning while i cleaned the entire garage out, a case of Jupiler from Belgium
kicking myself for not cleaning out the garage in the first week of lockdown !!!!!

I went for a drive to Franschoek on the weekend, it looks like quite a few restaurants are closed for good including my favorite one, Cafe Franschoek.

Going to Riebeek-Wes this weekend, hopefully my favorite one there is open.

Took a drive into Town to see what other people are doing with their lives.

I'm just staying home, masticating, three, even four, times a day.

I've spent the entire time alone in a small flat, aside from about 15 or so walks to the shops, and one trip to fetch a washing machine.

I am in Cape Town, but I may as well be in East London for all the difference my current lifestyle would make in relation to my surroundings.

I am so very goddamned bored.

Working from home...

But if it's not raining I put on my jogging shoes and spend about an hour each afternoon pounding the pavement with one of my neighbors who is also a jogger.

On rainy days it's been mostly also doing long-procrastinated cleanup. Getting rid of things which I don't need or use, especially now that recycling places are open again.

Public mastication is extra thrilling.

We drove to Muizenberg - take aways and park watching the surfers and waves.

Take your own food if worried.

Can't stay cooped up all the time...

With the mountain open again, I've been riding a lot more than I did before the lockdown. Pretty safe activity IMO. Hardly any people on the upper trails...

I hike and prefer the less popular trails. But it seems the lockdown has inspired people to get out: on the utterly obscure and unknown Pimple Traverse a couple of weeks ago - this is a hike where maybe 3 or 4 groups will do it in a year - there were 3 groups, including us, on one day. Last weekend - in the rain - the area around Healy-Hutchinson was teeming with hikers.

It is good and bad. Good that people are getting out of their houses and up the mountain, bad because I prefer the mountain to myself!

You missed the dolphins putting on a show yesterday morning. Just before 9am they were out in full force in fish Hoek. Of course people were also silly stopping in the road, standing on top of each other to get a peek.
