Need to get out of the house but don't want to travel too far?

Did you know that you can enjoy plenty of "Bucket List" items right here in Cape Town? So if the Pandemic is getting you down, you don't have to travel too far.

Tourists come from all over the world to enjoy these activities, so why not see how many of these ten bucket list items you can tick off this winter:

• Lion's Head hike - an iconic landmark which, at 669 meters above sea level, offers spectacular vistas. The hike is about 2-3 hours, starts in the Lion's Head parking lot (off Kloof Nek Road) and is clearly marked. It is child-friendly and dog friendly, but dogs must be on a leash.
• La Colombe at Silvermist - located at the top of Silvermist Wine Estate, it offers an iconic fine dining experience where "food is theatre", exquisitely made and served in things such as a "birds' nest". Visit Lacolombe.co.za
