Cape Town has plenty of outdoor spots where you can just sit down and enjoy a simple picnic assembled from the shelves of Pick 'n Pay, Spar, and Woolworths. This couple found a spot near the ocean at Sea Point, but other good picnic spots include the top of Signal Hill, the beach at Woodbridge Island, Camps Bay or Clifton, Rhodes Memorial, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Cape Town Company Gardens, and many more.
The evenings have started cooling down a little and I seem to have developed a cold, so I suspect that unless the weather warms up again soon, the only picnicking I'll be doing is during the day, not in the evening. I'm finding it hard to believe that summer has started to show signs of fading already...

We just need to make sure we keep these public spaces open. Seafront for All is trying to stop a development of the public space at the Sea Point Pavilion, check out more info here http://www.seafa.org.za

A great picture! I really like the variety of colours – the blue of the water, the green of the grass, etc. Very nice. I hope they enjoyed their picnic.

Duncan, thanks for the link. We’ll take a good look at all the information presented there, and then do a few relevant posts to raise awareness amongst our readers.
Steve, thanks (on behalf of Paul, who took the picture :) ). I agree with you – the colours are really striking.
