Scenes from Cape Point
One of the highlights of Cape Town is not in Cape Town itself, but on Cape Point, the peninsula that juts into the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. I loved both of the day trips we spent exploring Cape Point. The scenery on Cape Point is amazing: beaches, cliffs, mountains, wild flowers.
We hiked up to the lighthouse on Cape Point for amazing views, and stood at the southwestern-most point of Africa at the Cape of Good Hope.
I saw a guesthouse at which I want to stay if I am ever on Cape Point again.
Each day we visited, we ate lunch at a different farm and craft village, where we drank local wine, ate organic food, and soaked up the sunshine. It was late August – the equivalent of late March at home – and spring was in the air.
All of this, not to mention all of the animals we saw…coming soon!
Gorgeous photos, guys! And I adore the name of the guesthouse! 🙂
Tim and I are eagerly eating up your South Africa stories. We can’t wait for our upcoming trip there! 🙂
Gorgeous photos! 🙂
(LOL! I just mentioned to Tim how I had been reading your blog this morning and left a comment…and it looks like he was doing the same thing at the same time. Too funny!)
I visited Cape Point many years ago and I remember it just as beautiful as you’ve shown with your pictures!
It’s funny- I have that same exact picture standing in front of the sign!
I also remember all the baboons on the road leading to it!
Does it say Chocolate Silo in that last photo? Do tell about that!
It does say chocolate silo! I think that was from the Imhoff Farm Village, where they had an organic cafe and shop, lots of craft shops, and the chocolate silo. The silo was just that – an old farm silo converted into a store for chocolate. Yum. Although if I remember correctly, I got my sweets fix from a treat at the organic shop.
