Today , Pieter who I had booked over the Internet came to take us for a day tour. It was a glorious day so we started by taking the cable car to the top of Table Mountain and then drove the spectacular coastal route via Chapman, Peak to Cape Point. The Fynbos flora is very reminscent of the Albany area W.A. and it even smells the same.
Last night we took a short walk and found a nice Italian restaurant where pasta (very good) was about $6 and a glass of excellent red wine about $3. Coffee also is cheap and good. Our restaurant tonight was thai and the dishes were good, but none of the staff looked as if they had any connection with Thailand.
Just a few pictures

One of the African or Jackass penguins at Boulder Beach. They are very friendly or should I say curious like all penguins.
Just one of many Fynbos wildflowers out now.
Spectacular coast at Cape Point but no Flying Dutchman today.
Great view from your room!
ReplyDeleteI've done a jigsaw puzzle of those colourful houses, but I didn't know where in the world they were. I always learn stuff when you are travelling!
Will be following your travels with interest as we hope to go to Africa next year.
