Hop on, hop off the train as many times as you like between Cape Town and Simon's Town and experience a day that will rival your best ever holiday anywhere in the World! Treat yourself to an oversized helping of the very best that Cape Town has to offer, served Capetonian style.

My day on the Southern Line was like stepping in and out of a series of living photographs - a collage that sliced through a real life cross-section of the Mother City.

This One Day or Two Day Pass between Cape Town and Simon's Town allows you to immerse yourself in doing only what you want to do and elliminates the hassle of finding parking, feeding insatiable parking metres or fighting the traffic. Destination partners of the Southern Line ensure that at every hop off station there are adventures and activities for everybody.

Here's how to do it: Create your own bucket list and upsize what you want to do into an exceptional day, like the one that motivated me to write this up and share it with you.

Think of something you want to do in Cape Town, anything from the smorgasbord of possibilities on offer. Only your imagination limits the possibilities and pleasure available to you. 

In between taking photographs, I upsized my day with a high speed, adrenalin pumping inflatable boat ride and a visit to the SAS Assegaai Submarine in Simon's Town. Maybe the underwater world of Atlantis exists? There must be a place somewhere for retired submariners - they are definitely more at home under the water than they are on the surface.

For me, I felt like drifting down the Southern Line taking photographs; maybe even take one good enough to frame for the empty space above the stairs at home. I'm no photographer so I'm not going to bore you with my happy snaps, but my most productive hop of point for photographs was Kalk Bay.
