Exploring Cape Town’s hip Bree Street – #OpenStreets

You’ve gotta love Cape Town in the summer. Well, I love Cape Town all year round, but there’s something special about summer time in the Mother City.  There’s an energy and buzz that vibrates throughout and you just can’t help feeling happy, light and free! Or is that just me?

Cool market vibes at Bay Harbour Market, Hout Bay

One of my favourite things to do (I have many!) is to explore the local market scene. We really are spoilt for choice in the Western Cape and there is certainly no shortage of markets in and around Cape Town. You can find everything from farmer and foodie markets that offer freshly harvested fruits and vegetables and heavenly gastronomic delights to vintage markets selling a wide range of vintage clothing and other retro items. Markets that cater for families are increasingly popular as there is usually entertainment for the kids and space for them to run around to their hearts content. At this time of year, you’ll find a whole host of Christmas and gift markets popping up, great for finding that perfect and perhaps unique gift for that special someone.
