In part 5 of our guest post series, ¨I Love Cape Town¨, from Craig of YTravelBlog, he takes us on a road trip outside of Cape Town to some of the great little towns and nooks just a quick drive away from downtown Cape Town!

Road Trip!

Take a one day road trip south of Cape Town for stunning coastal and mountain scenery. On the way, stop at Hout Bay for awesome fish and chips. Take the world-recognized Chapman’s Peak Drive where rocks threaten to cascade down from the stunning, imposing mountain peaks above. From there, you can drive down to the tip of the Cape of Good Hope for stunning views and where baboons run wild. Be sure to keep an eye on your lunch.
