Cape Town August 30-31
 
Will be in Cape Town for two days if we have any members resident or traveling through - would love to say thanks for your support of FlyerTalk.

Oh, I really wish I were!

How can you spend only two days there? That's not enough time to see the Winelands, Cape Point, Simon's Town (and penguins), Table Mountain, Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, Two Oceans Aquarium, the Castle, and that's just scratching the surface.

I do hope you're staying at the Arabella Sheraton Grand Hotel there in Cape Town. If so, be sure to check out the spa on the 19th floor. The view from the Jacuzzi is really something.

Been looking to head back down there for a while (holding an open LHR-CPT ticket.) This could certainly be as good as reason as any! Randy, when you get a chance, maybe you could post or PM where you're staying and what flights you're on in/out.

Have stayed at The Bay hotel in camps bay,

..and would love to stay there again, although I would also like to check out 12 Apostles Hotel,

I've been to CPT three times in the last year so don't need to redo the wine tour. Actually did stay at the Arabella last time and meant to file a trip report - great hotel and was sad to only have time to get to the spa right before check-out. Has to be one of the best hotel spas in the world for a non-resort or spa hotel.

This trip is all business and The Comodore Hotel is likely to be the residence. Each time I bring back a case of wine - Thelema is my favorite.

Good choice (IMHO). We visited that particular vineyard (as well as the Delaire down the road) while we were on the Winelands "tour" and were really impressed by the wines. V fell in love with the Thelema cabernet sauvignon-merlot blend, while I was captivated by the sauvignon blanc.

(I know it should probably be the other way around, but she is drawn to Italian-type reds while I like German-type whites. Go figure.)

Not sure how often he reads Community, or if you have caught up down there before, but B Watson mentioned to me he had a home in CPT and was there every month or so, so maybe your trips will co-incide? :)

If anyone is gonna' be in CPT anytime in August, drop me a PM.

I'm afraid I have to be in Naples (Florida, not Italy) that weekend, but I'll think of you enjoying the Thelema in Cape Town. :cool:
