Go peak your head out the window. Do you see the sunshine that we’re dealing with today? It’s an absolute joke.
While the rest of the country is “gripped” by a cold spell, Cape Town is rocking the city’s collective faces off with a stiff little 24 degrees Celsius and no wind. Boom!

I’m sorry about that “boom”. I had to.

In any event, you should enjoy the sunshine this weekend. And you can, by paying R349 via Groupon for one of the following activities:

• Rock climbing (valued at R1100)
• Two hour surfing lesson (valued at R900)
• A half day sandboarding experience (valued at R900)

This will all be facilitated by the good-looking people over at Adventure Sports & Tours 4U, 36 Bamberry Road, Belthorn Estate, , 7780 Cape Town.

No look, there actually is no good reason why you shouldn’t snaffle this.
