What happens in Cape Town and in the Western Cape in September?
September means springtime and not that much rain anymore, so you should go outside and sample the power of flowers, wine, creativity and much more. Also there will be one day with free entrances at the Iziko museums and one week in some nature reserves of the Western Cape SAN Parks, all because of the Braai Day, a national holiday. Also there are a lot of festivals and events related to sport, music and much more.

A JOURNEY AT CAPE POINT
In South African Travel, Car Rental South Africa, Car Hire Cape Town, Car Hire South Africa by Sergio / August 14, 2014
I found my favorite place at the Cape of Good Hope by absolute accident. Of course you can only visit a place like this, when you hire a car from Aroundaboutcars. I am not saying this because I am the owner of Aroundaboutcars and we offer the best rates and cars in the country but because of the fact that there is no public transport for travelling to the Cape. An organized tour costs twice as much as a hire car for one day and a tour would never drive to my favorite place.
LET’S GO COASTING IN HERMANUS
In South African Travel, Car Rental South Africa, Car Hire Cape Town, Car Hire South Africa by Sergio / August 14, 2014
This is for the whole family! The Cape Fold Belt Mountains rise behind the village towards the sky, the Botrivier and Kleinrivier lagoons run majestically alongside the city and cliffs that are shrouded in fog fall down to the shimmering Atlantic. The coast of Hermanus seems like a susurration of nature.

ROAD TRIPPING THROUGH THE FALSE BAY
In South African Travel, Car Rental South Africa, Car Hire Cape Town, Car Hire South Africa by Sergio / July 30, 2014
Driving through the quaint and picturesque town of Simon’s Town, we had to stop at The Sweetest Thing coffee and patisserie shop for the most mind blowing cakes/tarts and coffee. Satisfying our sugar rush we headed to the Grosvenor House perched high above the working naval harbor. Settling quickly into our gorgeous room with sweeping views over False Bay, we eagerly changed and headed out to a hiking trail close by, one of hundreds laid out by Sanparks throughout the Western Cape, lying above the penguin paradise at Boulders beach.
DAILY LIFE IN LONGSTREET
In South African Travel, Car Rental South Africa, Car Hire Cape Town, Car Hire South Africa by Sergio / July 24, 2014
Longstreet is well known to be the more energetic street of Cape Town. If you don’t visit Longstreet, you don’t visit the mother city. It’s filled with many shops, a lot of restaurants, many pubs, cafe, bookshops and so on. The vibe is always nice in Long Street. During the day, you can do shopping at the African stores to bring souvenirs from South Africa. You can also take a seat in of the many restaurants for lunch time. You have the choice between different types. The nightlife is also crazy in Longstreet. The vibe is fantastic during the weekends.
