• Load shedding should not be the problem that it was a few years ago. I do not know how much of the journey is done by steam traction.
• The V&A Waterfront is a good place. Whilst food and drinks are expensive, it is a great atmosphere and views. The Watershed covered craft market has fabulous items as gifts. Yes they are tourist prices but you will be supporting the locals so wander round first and see what appeals.
• The Simon's Town naval base is, I think, not up to much these days. Whilst I have been to the town many times, not to the Naval Base for many years, Naval Museum
• I agree that Cape Point is good if not been before. There are many quality coach tours to choose from and you get a sceneic journey from the city centre, or hire a car. But the coach is simplest.
• If you like animals, there are a couple of small - but good - places within easy reach of the city. Again by hire car. Let me know if interested.
• Robben Island is a remarkable visit, my lady has been, but the the boat crossing is not suitable for those of us who do not agree with boats. actually, boats are ok, it's the way the water affects them ... As my nephew pilot says, "I don't trust water, I prefer good solid air under my wings."
• The mountain cableway should be booked in advance. If on the day you choose, the mountains Tablecloth is down - you can go the next time it is open. There is a separate queue for those with tickets. They keep the website up to date with the weather and queues. If you get a cab from your hotel - it should be trustowrthy. There are also many tours that go up there and along the coast. In the city, some Tuk-Tuks also. Not used one myself as we always have a car.
• Tipping is always appreciated and at the exchange rate, easy to do and make someone's day.
