Shopping
The Waterfront has something for everyone, from fashion to arts and crafts, food markets to cinemas. Cape Town's famous Red Buses leave from the Waterfront, as do boat rides (including a trip to Robin Island, where Nelson Mandela spent too many years in prison) and helicopter flips. Probably my favorite store here? Exclusive Books :-)
