We awake to a perfect morning, with clear blue skies and little wind.

Naturally we were excited to be going to the Cape of Good Hope after a stunning drive around the coast road through Chapman's Peak, then along the winding but spectacular coastal road right down the Peninsula.

Departure at 10.15am was ideal and the weather only improved as we commenced the drive paid the toll and just took in the breathtaking scenery..

We meandered our way along this road and frequently stopping for photos. Some are displayed later.

You drive some 50 km over about an hour before you reach the Cape of Good Hope National Park. This is a large national park with all of the security arrangements. Jeanette decides that we will visit Cape Point light house and then ride the fenicular to the medium level and take photos where the 2 Oceans meet (Indian and Atlantic Oceans) and the scenery is quite stunning. At the top after alighting the funicular, there are then another 200 steps up to the very top. Needless to say we decided against attempting this climb.

We again start to see the many baboons and there are signs everywhere advising that they are dangerous , but also do not feed them.

Our next detour takes us along the coast to the Cape of Good Hope sign posts and there is then a small queue to have photos taken. From here we drive for some 40 minutes along the road beside stunning beaches with pure white sand. There are also seals and some sea lions.

We have been very fortunate with the weather just about perfect. But we are aware from the clouds building that there is a squally change approaching.

Time for lunch ,but we decide to exit the park and make our way back along the first part of the winding road. We intend eating overlooking the Ocean. Eventually we stop overlooking a Bay, eat our rolls and fruit and reflect at 3.15pm what a perfect afternoon we have enjoyed with warm sun, no breeze and just stunning scenery.

Jeanette is cooking fillet steaks tonight with potatoes, onion and salad followed by apple crumble.we are drinking a wine from Stellenbosch. Life is just fantastic and how fortunate we are to do this.

The amazing coast at Cape Point on The Peninsula.

Ken had a beer on our first afternoon at Dunes restaurant in Hout Bay and then the following morning a jumbo cappacino. Just stunning scenery in Hout Bay.
