Cape Town, as a destination, offers so many treasures. From world-renowned restaurants; Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated; Table Mountain; Penguins; Winelands to name but a few. Often, when we’re travelling, we are looking for a little trinket or gift that will carry a memory of our trip, or to let a friend or loved one know that they were on our mind as we travelled.
Cape Town is rich with eclectic, arty and quirky bric a bric. It’s just knowing where to find it. I was recently in Cape Town and would like to share my top 5 treasure troves with you:
Clementina Ceramics – The Old Biscuit Mill
