How to Spend 3 Days in Cape Town, South Africa

Shopping London Style
I wouldn't go as far as calling myself a shopaholic (don't laugh), but I definitely enjoy a good shopping expedition in this city. When I moved to London, the only shopping streets I knew were Oxford Street and Regent Street. And believe me, even a true shopaholic...
