Cape Point

What would a visit to Cape Town be without visiting the iconic landmark of Cape Point where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Indian Ocean?

Highlights ...
  • The steepish climb up to the lighthouse and a larger than life fellow South African lady doing a triumphant dance when she reached the top (so much better than and healthier than the bus!). 
  • The beautiful panoramic views from the top of rugged cliffs and nestled beach coves.
  • A lady asking Chrisèl to take a photo of her and then giving her "constructive" criticism on her photographic attempt and asking for another. Then more criticism and another requested attempt, and another ...  until Chrisèl politely but firmly returned the camera. 
  • A lovely walk along the cliffs of the narrow peninsula to a view of the little lighthouse right at the tip. 
  • The way the clouds lifted and the blue sky added to the colour of our photos.
  • The melodic calls of the red winged starlings that seem to love Cape Point as much as the tourists.
  • A deep discussion about life on the way home where, after a refreshing red cappuccino and sublime roast vegetable wrap at The Red Bean, we proceeded to pack for our Baz Bus trip leaving the next day.
