This week-end I had a car… So after doing the shopping for Elke’s & Jona’s arrival, I was out-and-about. I knew I wanted to venture Cape-Town, I just didn’t know where, District 6, or the port again, the Aquarium, the museum, or Robben Island?
Driving into Kaapstad, seeing the Table Mountain, the destination was set. Glad that I had brought enough to drink and was all set. Parking was not that easy, though 🙂
On my hike, I got to know two blokes, that had been roaming the whole South of Africa, one from Switzerland, the other from England/New Zealand/now Australia. Both had come from Namibia, the other had been to Zimbabwe and Bostwana, too! So they had a lot to tell and at lunch at the Cafeteria pictures to show.
But first, we had to climb the 1:30hrs, which is easily doable… If you’re not in the sun… The view is just stunning:

At the top, we were lucky to see the weather phenomenon that clouds/fog builds up along the coast and are blown into the bay just to disappear again:
The beaches & city of Camps Bay covered in mist.
The view from Table Mountain down to the Cape, the town, Lions Head and Signal Hill is just stunning:

On our way down, we came across this little bird… Unfortunately, it was already getting dark in the valley, and setting ISO-1200 and stabilizer all help, but still at 300mm I am shaking too much…
