Western Cape

Early morning and we are off on our trip to go do some whale watching.

It was a really beautiful drive.

We took a very nice bottle of wine and drove up the mountain to the pumping station to watch the sun set over False Bay.

In the distance you can see the top of Table Mountain above some low clouds. To the right you can see three towns as well as some of the winelands.

It is an inceredible, and incredibly romantic, sunset experience.

You know this must be a good place if the foreigner in the group remarks: Every single time I have been to South Africa, I have eaten here!

And yes, the view, the food and the service was amazing. We will be back again next time!

We drove around Cape Town through all these beautiful bays and towns.Seapoint. Clifton. Camps Bay.

Then on to the Chapman’s Peak Drive. This might be even prettier than the Pacific Highway in California.

All on the way to this nice town called Hout Bay, where we will be having a late lunch. Seafood, of course!

One of the oldest, and prettiest, hotel and bars on Blouberg Strand. This is the best views of Cape Town and Table Mountain.

We stopped for a quick visit, some refreshment and lots and lots of photos!

After an amazing breakfast this morning prepared again by our host, we left a beautiful guest house filled with art from a very foggy Paternoster and got on the road again. Heading to Cape Town.

If you ever need a place to stay in this picturesque town, make sure you consider this one!

We woke up this morning and it was a beautiful sunrise. The sky was filled with delicate hues of blue and purple and orange with tints of yellow.

A few minutes later a fog rolled in from the ocean and gave everything this soft eerie muted feel.
