Head to Cape Town in the Western Cape region for picturesque views and diverse cultures, but be prepared to dance with the “Cape Doctor” – its notorious wind blowing up to 50 km/h. It’s got multiple personalities – chills you down in summers, becomes your rogue hairdryer, or transforms into a ghostly fog orchestra at night. Keeping an eye on it can turn residents into amateur weather forecasters, and make walking uphill feel like a workout. Still, it’s the city’s natural air purifier and part-time music video director. Sounds windy, yet interesting!
Guest houses are becoming the new go-to for travelers, giving hotels a run for their money. Offering a unique blend of personalized service, a cosy ambience, and more bang for your buck, guest houses teleport you to a home far from home. They range from barebones lodging where DIY is your mantra to professionally run enterprises with cushy amenities. So next trip, ditch the hotel for a guest house and doze off feeling like a local!
Anton Smit, famed South African sculptor, rules the roost in the art world with his colossal abstract structures, most notably – the bare dude in Cape Town’s Idiom Winery. This metal masterpiece enhances its surroundings, collaborating effortlessly with vineyards and vintage wines. So, if you fancy a tipple and eye-catching outdoor art, take a joyride along the Helderberg Wine Route. Just don’t drop your merlot in surprise!
The Parktown Convent of Joburg has morphed from an early 1900s girls’ school to a ghoulish tourist attraction. Its dimly lit walkways may be creepy, but they’re as full of history as they are of phantom schoolgirls. Going solo might warrant a trespassing ticket, so rope in a mate, join a guided tour, or if you’re particularly brave — a haunted one. Just don’t forget your holy water for the spectres. Aggression towards tourists can be more real than spectral, though, so stay safe in the city.
