My family and I went down to the Mother City in the December holidays. Here are 9 highlights from our trip!

1. The drive along Chapman’s Peak. I was blown away by the magnificence of the ocean.
2. West Coast National Park with its clear waters made me feel like I was away at an exotic holiday destination.
3. A real treat was Baskin Robbins which definitely made me feeling like I was buying ice cream in Taiba Centre in Madinah. Ahh, the nostalgia.
4. Watching the sun set on Signal Hill was breathtaking and we were surrounded by South Africans from all over and you could hear it from the different accents.
5. We went strawberry picking at Polkadraai Farm in Stellenbosch and had as much fun picking strawberries as we did eating them.
6. Nothing beats the vibe and the aesthetic of the V&A Waterfront.
7. The view of Table Mountain from the Big Wheel was definitely picture perfect.
8. The rich heritage of South African muslims that can be seen in Bo-Kaap.
9. Fish on the Rocks is a must stop for fish and chips in Houtbay.
