On the first morning the group slips out of Cape Town before the city fully wakes—coastal light already stitching silver across the Atlantic. The van hums south along the Sea Point promenade, past Clifton’s white-sanded coves where early surfers paddle into the swell. By midday you’re skirting the rock ribs of Chapman’s Peak Drive; the road leans into the ocean and the mountains seem to dare the sea to do better.
