Head down to the beach in Camps Bay. If you are a party person, definitely swing by one of Cape Town's most popular Beach Clubs, Cafe Caprice.

Or, if you are more of the full body red with a side of Netflix type  (like us), head over to The Butcher for great nightcap to your day along beautiful Victoria Road in Camps Bay.

There are no shortage of hikes around Cape Town, but our favorite hike, hands down, is Lion's Head. Now this is where your picnic essentials come in handy.

The hike is pretty easy until you start climbing the summit where you will find a variety of chains and ladders to help you up a particular steep section of rocks. If you don't feel safe, continue on the path that goes around the climb, there are signs to help direct you.

Lion's Head is popular for a reason, the view from the top will not disappoint, so be prepared to share this wonderful gift from The Mother City with a lot of locals and tourist.

Our suggestion? Head out at least two and half hours before sunset. Pack a bag with your wine, cheese and charcuteries, a cutting board, knife, napkins (if you are nuts like me), and a portable speaker if you have one (it just adds to the ambiance). Oh yeah, and don't forget water and a head lamp! 

Take your time winding your way to the top, stopping along the way to breathe in the cool sea air and the stunning scenery. Once you have reached the summit, and your mind finally grasps the beauty surrounding you, go ahead and take your pictures...we know you have them. The yoga pose? The dare devil shot? Or the always popular, gazing out into the great unknown (we aren't making fun...we take ALL of those pictures!).

Once you feel satisfied with all your insta-worthy shots, start making your way back down, before the sun has completely set. Find a cosy spot overlooking Camps Bay (see below) and set up your picnic. Pick your favorite Spotify playlist (we like this one), and enjoy the sun setting over the Atlantic Ocean without the crowds. It really is a magical experience!

Bringing you the very best of South Africa's wine collection, owners Nigel and Tanya are always available with smiling faces and helpful suggestions. Pick up a bottle (or two) for the second part of this Day. The best is yet to come, friends! 

Now head over to Saucisse Deli and pick up some picnic essentials. We suggest a couple fine cheeses (we loved the bold blue cheese), a spicy sausage and delicate prosciutto, and maybe some tangy cornichons. Grab a homemade artisanal loaf of bread and you've got yourself quite the spread!

Whether you decide to go on your own walking tour or better yet join Juma, a local tour guide of Woodstock Creative, the street art in this once run down industrial suburb of Cape Town is definitely a colorful experience. The walls and buildings of this bustilng hub of creativity showcases over 100 installations of street art and graffiti and what better way to understand the transformation behind the street art movement than with a local guide such as Juma. 

If you want to get a real feel for what this eye opening walking tour is like, head over to Christine Knight's blog, Adventure, baby to get the full experience before checking it out for yourself :)

Espresso Lab's got you covered! Grab a table inside the cafe while admiring the fitting decor or take in some sunshine out in the courtyard.

Whether you are in the mood to shop, explore, or grub, the Old Biscuit Mill has a little bit of everything for everyone. For a delicious salad or sandwich, try Saucisse Deli. If you are feeling Italian, Burrata is your spot. Care to make an evening out of it?

And if it's just a good ol' burger you are looking for, Redemption Burgers' got your back!

And don't forget to drop by The Old Biscuit Mill on Saturday mornings from 9:00am - 3:00pm (rain or shine!) for the Neighbourgoods Market (pst. OBM is closed on Sundays)! Grab some friends and go hungry! You won't be disappointed with the variety of food, drinks, and speciality products offered at this beautifully curated, local, and creative space. Enjoy!
