Cape Town's South Easter

Haha...I remember those days so well...the South Easterly winds in Cape Town.

The building I worked in used to sway quite alarmingly.

It's also called the Cape Doctor as it would blow away any smog.

Views from Boyes Drive, Cape Town, South Africa

 

Boyes Drive is a scenic road that climbs the lower slopes of Muizenberg Mountain, providing an elevated route above the shoreline of False Bay that offers panoramic views over Muizenberg beach and the Cape Flats. On a clear day, views include great vistas over False Bay with the Hottentot's Holland Mountain range in the distance.  

This coastal road always reminds me of the Med with its windswept pines.

Painful manifestation of my emotions

I felt out of sorts on the flight out to Cape Town. Nothing I could put my finger on, but assumed it was just part of the excitement about seeing everyone.

I didn't feel much like eating, so didn't, cos as you probably know, airline food is nothing to get excited about.

Holiday in South Africa

We have returned to Cape Town on holiday three times since we emigrated to the UK - Christmas 1998, Christmas 1999 and the last time in December 2005.

Boulders Beach, Cape Town, South Africa

Boulders Beach - "There are few places in the world where you can get this close to a breeding colony of penguins, swim close to them in the sea and enjoy their private sandy beach."
