Cape Town



Drive along the Cape Penninsula to Cape Point and Cape Of Good Hope. Getting attacked by baboons was a highlight!

This weekends adventures was a trip to Cape Town. Was so much fun!!! Friday we took our "Chico" volkswagon (quite possibly the crapest car ever! but really popular here??) on a mission of the western cape penninsula. Was spectacular, lots of windy seaside roads and gorgeous beaches. Saturday we hired a driver and went on a wine and cheese tour. The fact we all slept on the way back to town was an indication of how much we enjoyed it (and the night before on Long St)!
Sunday we hit the beach for some much needed rays after some cold weather in Joburg, and then took the cable car up Table Mountain. It was a really clear day and we could see all the way to the Cape of Good Hope. Eerie being so high above a city, as it was so quiet.
Would have to rate Cape Town as the most naturally beautiful city I have been to. And a great place for a weekend away!
