Also, how should one pack for cape town? shorts / flip flops or less casual? How warm or cold should one expect the weather to be?
Any advice / suggestions welcome.
A trip to the winelands? (Less than an hour away.)
You can certainly get away with shorts and flip flops provided they are not too tatty or paired with a wifebeater. Cape Town does not relate to its beaches the way more tropical places do, so beach wear is almost never seen away from the beach. But decent shorts are very acceptable.
