Do you need a prescription to relax?  
With wonderful deli’s, artist studios and cafe’s, you cannot help but unwind. Sit down, relax, read a newspaper and spoil your senses.  Smell the flowers. Breathe the fresh air. Listen to the birds. Watch the mountain from the back stoep. Sit on the front stoep and watch the people go by. Go for a long slow walk through the oak lined streets and appreciate the architectural history. But remember to wait patiently for the donkey carts, cows and horses that also share the road!
