Beautiful, Camps Bay
Camps Bay on the Atlantic coast just 8km from Cape Town.

Camps Bay from Above
View of Camps Bay from back side of Table Mountain - known as 12 Apostles.

Cape Town from Table Mountain
At a sheer 1000m the view over Cape Town from Table Mountain was spectacular.

Cable Car departing Table Mountain
A cable car departing Table Mountain - a very steep and scenic ride.

Villa Sunset - 12 Apostles
What an amazing backdrop to a beautiful outdoor setting at our Camps Bay Villa - 3 of the 12 Apostles.

Villa Sunset over Atlantic
We loved sitting poolside of an evening for sunset drinks and amazing ocean views.

Simonsig Winery - Stellenbosch
Wow! Stunning scenery - winery with great character - and our tour guide really knew his stuff! Champagne, a slutty white (story behind this) and fine reds - glad we had a driver!

Muratie Winery
Used cobwebs to great advantage - Jan had to be restrained from de-spidering - lovely vintage ports.

Table Mtn from Stellenbosch
An interesting, distant view of Table Mountain from the Stellenbosch winery district - our villa on opposite side.

Protea
Kirstenbrosch Gardens, on the southern slopes of Table Mountain. Totally South African natives - here a beautiful protea -gorgeous place.

Pink Ibis
We've often walked around Sydney & its parks thinking how ugly the ibis is - SA has a pink ibis - small & cute.

Hout Bay
This was a lovely fishing centre south of Camps Bay. Enjoyed calamari & a local white from a sunny deck.

Seal Island
Despite rain and a stiff breeze we were impressed with our short boat trip out to Seal Island - the rocky surface was hidden by thousands of seals.

Souvenir Stalls
At every tourist venue, bus stop, point of interest - there were tables of souvenirs being flogged - even in the rain.

African Penguin
Had a close up and personal visit to an African Penguin colony - bigger than our fairy penguins, pink around the eyes - they ignored us too!

Cape Point
Cape Point is the most south easterly point of South Africa - the most southerly point is undeveloped & boring, so this spot gets the tourists - wow, it is so spectacular, high above the ocean.

Sydney Sign
At Cape Point we found a sign post to a familiar place.

Cape of Good Hope
Adjacent to Cape Point is the more well known, Cape of Good Hope. This is our infamous touring group - the Aussie / Canadian Connection.
