Prices have been high of late, although HEB had some decent offers two weeks ago (1 lb of organic for $2, I believe).

Do you know when blueberries are in full swing?

Blueberries usually start in early June and really picks up in late June/early July.

ALCO, is it worth spending a night or two in CPT (1 night before our afternoon flight back to JNB?) or should we just go out to the Hermanus area and drive back to CPT for a day trip?

Absolutely. It's a fantastic city. I highly recommend Sevruga Restaurant at the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront (not far from the Westin). It's expensive by South African standards, but probably less than you would pay at a halfway decent Manhattan restaurant.

It is. I think that, or a variant thereof, is usually a question on the MPRE.

The :rolleyes: is still fresh in my mind.

Ok, I'll probably plan on 1 night at the Westin in CPT and the other 4 at the Arabella Western Cape. Thanks for the restaurant recommendation, it looks perfect for our anniversary.

As I look at things to see and do, I'm quickly realizing that this 12 day trip could easily turn in to several months. :D

I've been sorely tempted to just skip my return flight on each trip to Cape Town. It is, IMO, simply the finest area on the planet.

Anything I should do in ICN besides the fish market? I couldn't get the DMZ tour to fit into my schedule so that's out.

It's a nice hike up to the top of the mountain at Namhansanseong National Park (there's a nearby subway stop). You can also check out the palaces (they all start to look the same fairly quickly). I missed out on the island in the Han River where the parliament is.

I can see us being tempted to do the same. If only CO would hurry up and ticket this thing...

Visit one of the palaces - we enjoyed Changdeokgung. There is another one that requires a tour that's supposed to be the best. I'm sure ALCO will remember the name...

Ahh, on my short list of places to visit within the next 2 years.

I did that one and Gyeonbyok (or something like that). There's also a memorial/tomb one that's slightly less well known. As I said, they all look fairly similar after a while.

Tolsot Bibimbap also makes a great breakfast. If you paid more than about $3, you got ripped off. Street food stalls by the subway stations are also quite tasty.
