Visiting Cape Town I'm sure it would be ridiculously easy to follow the beaten track and explore the many tourist attractions that lure throngs of visitors, but the Mother City has so much more to offer.
Welcome to the extreme sport of kloofing, South Africa's ramped-up version of canyoneering. The only way out is down.
All manner of walking, scrambling, climbing, swimming, plunging, jumping, bumslides (i like)or abseiling 'rappelling' could be involved.
FYI: The recommended technique for jumping into water is the 'pin drop', which apparently involves hitting the water with your body as straight as possible and your hands held firmly by your sides. Closing your mouth completely is probably also a good idea (to avoid biting your tongue).
Looks like I'm off to South Africa then...
