(Open-ended and waiting your finessing... so please, do add to the list...)
Baxter Theatre – repeatedly, given there’re always so many great shows on in this rather ugly ’70s monstrosity (sorry, Bax, but you’re not the prettiest)
Bertram House
Bokaap Museum
Boulders Beach (look, beaches aren’t my thing, but in the interests of fairness... )
Camps Bay (keeping the kit on, sorry lads, it’s better that way)

Castle
Charly’s Bakery
City Hall
Clifton (from one, all the way to four... oh gods... )
Company Gardens
District Six Museum
Fish braai – with snoek or something picked up at Kalk Bay harbour (this is where I’ll have to call in the cavalry because my braaiing skills are about as dubious as most of my other cooking skills, although I can make a cracking good braai fire)
Gatsby – eat one in town (shudder!)
Gold of Africa Museum
Great white shark spotting

Jewish Museum/Holocaust Centre
Kalk Bay – trawl the second hand shops and crafty places, eat at one of the restaurants, buy fish at the harbour
Koopmans de Wet Huis
Liziwe’s Guest House – sleep over in Gugs
Llandudno (where the rich people go to life, and the not-so-rich go to picnic on the beach)
Mzoli’s Place – apparently the place to be seen in Gugs
Noonday Gun – take ear plugs and listen to the muffled rendering forth of the canon
North Wester – see “South Easter”, basically the same, only wetter, from the opposite direction, and in winter.

Planetarium
Prestwich Memorial, Green Point (where the skeletons were found a few years back)
Robben Island

Spier Contemporary at the revamped Cape Town City Hall
St Georges Cathedral (the centre of ’80s-era activism, remind me to tell you about the purple people)
St Georges Mall
Table Mountain – every which way: bipedal, by cable, whatever...
The Argus (erm, sorry, the Cape Argus Pick ’n Pay Cycle Tour) – maybe cycle it again, or watch it from the shoulder of Eastern Boulevard while the South Easter tries to scalp you methodically over the course of an hour or so while you try to eat muffins and drink tea as packs of cyclists, cling-wrapped in lycra, go baying past.
The Fugard – catch The Train Driver while it’s in town
Trojan Horse Memorial, Athlone (“remembering the Trojan Horse massacre”)
Tuinhuis (well, peek through the fence, at least, or flirt with the guards at the gate)
Two Oceans Aquarium
Two Oceans Marathon – hell no, not run it, just watch it and scream a bit from the sidelines
V&A Waterfront – shopping represents a descent into a particular kind of hell for me; but alas, as with the beaches, fair’s fair... here we go, plastic)
Walking tour of Gugulethu
