Things to do under 50 bucks this weekend in Cape Town

 

 The Labia Theatre is the oldest independent art-repertory cinema in South Africa.

The Labia Theatre, originally an Italian Embassy ballroom, was opened by Princess Labia in May 1949 as a theatre for the staging of live performances.

For the past 37 years, it has been operating as a cinema on the alternative circuit appealing mainly to the more discerning viewer who enjoys its quality product and the charm of its old-world ambiance

Welcome to Charly’s Bakery, home of Charly’s Cake Angels, situated in District 6, Cape Town, South Africa.

We specialise in Mucking Afazing designer cakes for all occasions, as well as a range of fun and bright cupcakes, petit fours, cookies and other yummies.

Charly’s Bakery is a family run business, started by Charly and Jacqui Biess in 1989.

Over the years the business has grown and their 3 daughters, Alexandra, Daniella and Roch have joined them in creating their crazy, magical, glitter-filled world of Oompa Loompas, Luf Luf and decadently Wicked Chocolate cake.
Our philosophy is innovate, don’t imitate, and the more you give the more you’ll get ♥

We believe that the world is run on love, laughter and cupcakes!

In 2012 our beloved Charly left this world but not our hearts. We miss our Charly everyday and continue to create the magic he inspired in our lives. Tata Charly, we will meet you again… Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Kirstenbosch Centenary Tree Canopy Walkway

The Centenary Tree Canopy Walkway is a new curved steel and timber bridge that winds and dips its way through and over the trees of the Arboretum. Inspired by a snake skeleton, and informally called 'The Boomslang' (meaning tree snake), it is a low-maintenance, low-impact sculptural raised walkway.

The Walkway takes the visitor from the forest floor into and through the trees and bursts out above the canopy, giving spectacular panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountains, Garden and Cape Flats.

This walkway is 130 m long, narrow and slender, with a few wider view-point areas, and lightly snakes its way through the canopy, in a discreet, almost invisible way. The walkway is crescent-shaped and takes advantage of the sloping ground; it touches the forest floor in two places, and raises visitors to 12 m above ground. It is more than just a traditional boardwalk - like a snake, it winds and dips.

The Arboretum is situated between the Protea Garden, Cycad Amphitheatre, the Dell, Mathews Rockery and the Concert Lawn. (Find it on this map.)

The Centenary Tree Canopy Walkway was built in 2013-14 to celebrate the centenary of Kirstenbosch in 2013, and opened to the public on 17 May 2014.
