Valentines Day Picnic on Table Mountain

Can you think of anything more romantic than a sunset Valentines Day Picnic on Table Mountain?! If you are anything like me you are always looking for quirky valentines day ideas. Valentines day is celebrated on 14 February all around the world. To celebrate this happy month, why not take your better half for an after work sunset picnic on Table Mountain. (Having a picnic on Table Mountain is offcourse an excellent date night idea as well – well, early night at least)

Valentines Day picnic on Table mountain

It might be a nice idea to instead of climbing Table Mountain make use of the Table Mountain Cableway. To add some extra romance to your outing, pack a colourful basket with snacks. Simone from Yellow Papaya has compiled a valentines picnic basket checklist that will hopefully get you inspired. In addition Simone also included an easy Lemon Lime Homemade Lemonade recipe for you.
