Day 2 - Cape Town
If things are getting a bit stiff at the conference, the beautiful weather is too tempting to ignore, or if you simply have a gap in your schedule, Cape Town's City Bowl can give you a quick touch of culture and history. Head up towards Table Mountain and visit St George's Cathedral and the Company Gardens. Many of Cape Town's museums are in this area, if you have time you can immerse yourself in South African history, art, and ethnic culture. On your return to the CTICC, explore the Bo Kaap to experience Cape couloured culture. For meetings over dinner and drinks, try some of the City Bowl's great establishments, Po Na Na Souk and Asoka Son of Dharma provide relaxing settings for casual meetings while Minato's will offer fantastic sushi and a quiet environment.

No trip to Cape Town is complete without experiencing Table Mountain. While you may not have time for a hike to its summit, the Cableway gives you an opportunity to get a different perspective on the city. After a few days in Cape Town, you will have come to understand the way that the mountain shapes everyday life. A few moments at its summit is a fitting end to a trip that has been more than just business to a city that encourages more than just living. Back in the City Bowl, pamper yourself once more before heading home with drinks and dinner at the exquisite Cape Colony.
