Melissa & Ben

We will spend one of our days in Cape Town exploring the Western Cape and Cape Peninsula! We will pass through the stunning Clifton and Camps Bay areas, taking scenic Chapman’s Peak Drive along the coast to Cape Point Nature Reserve and Cape of Good Hope. The homeward-bound side of the peninsula goes via Boulders Beach and stops for lunch in the historic naval village of Simon’s Town. We will make a final stop at the world-renowned Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.

This wine tasting activity in Paris' Latin Quarter is highly rated and covers wines from all regions of France.

First we'll tour the illuminated streets and sparkling monuments of Paris, then go cancan crazy at the legendary Moulin Rouge! Enjoying the glitz, the glamour, and high kicks as we watch the show with a glass or two of champagne. A "must do" honeymoon evening out!

This will be Melissa's first ever trip to the City of Lights and Ben's first in many years, so a guided tour will be a perfect way to kick off our long weekend.

After all that walking and hiking, a couples' massage would be amazing!

We will travel from Cape Town through Stellenbosch and end in Franschhoek (where our hotel is located). We are looking forward to sampling famed South African wines in both of these beautiful towns (and not doing any driving in the process!).

Food is half of the fun of traveling and we have some big plans for this trip!

In South Africa, happy hour drinks are more commonly referred to as "sundowners".

The #2 rated listing for Food & Wine in Paris on Tripadvisor, this service delivers a complete gourmet picnic based on your preferences, including blanket, basket and utensils to you at the Paris park of your choice. Fun!

...because South Africa is 1.75x the size of Texas.

Have any restaurant, sight seeing or activity recommendations in South Africa or Paris (or even for the all day layover in London)? We'd love to hear it!
