Start your day with a selection of breakfast goodies at La Cuccina before heading back over Chapmans Peak Drive to Simonstown. It might be a good idea to take the long way around via Cape Point fior views of Kommetjie, Misty Cliffs, and Cape Point. Remember to look out for kitesurfers on Scarborough beach if its windy.
