On a beautiful day a visit to Cape Town would not be complete without experiencing Table Mountain either by cable car or walking. Always take a hat, suntan lotion, warm sweater and water and make sure of your route before starting out. The Mountain is beautiful, but please go prepared as the weather can change quickly.

Do not let the fact that this spot is in a shopping centre, V&A Waterfront, put you off! Expect great sushi and fantastic seafood and good service. If you get there later than 12 in the afternoon or later than 6:30 for dinner, expect to queue, but it moves quickly and is well worth the wait.
