Cape Town, South Africa (Day 3 of 3)

Our final day in Cape Town so we decided to be low key. I went for a manicure/pedicure in the morning and we then went for the noon sitting of afternoon tea at the legendary Mount Nelson Hotel. (I’d made the reservation months ago.) Its tea time is truly next level. The setting is spectacular to start with.

The menu is incredible - a four course tea with a choice of 40 teas and a glass of champagne. Course one is savoury and includes finger and open face sandwiches, tarts and empanadas. Course two is scones and madeleines. Course three is pastries. And course four is a cake buffet if you’re not full enough! Oh my.

Best. Teatime. Ever.Read more
