2012-09-16 WYNBERG - KIRSTENBOSCH - HOUT BAY

Another perfect day in Cape Town!

I was up fairly early and decided it was definitely time for another ride. I had a photo assignment - so good to combine work and play!  First stop was Kirstenbosch, but on the way the most beautiful view caught my eye.. Just had to stop and take a photo!  Cant say I have ever seen anything like it!!





After my brief look, I went on to Kirstenbosch Gardens. How amazing! The birds were having a field day - chattering away! I never went into Kirstenbosch Gardens but took a couple of photos at the entrance to the Gardens... There were so many people arriving for picnics, hikes, breakfast and properly just walks around the Gardens. We are so lucky to have such a beautiful place right on our doorstep!!













From there I went down to Hout Bay. I tried to go to my normal 'stop' - Fish on the Rocks. It was so packed because of the Hout Bay Market which was in full swing.  Everyone had put on their summer clothes and were heading down to the market for a shopping expedition or a delightful breakfast!



I just did a u-turn and headed of for Hout Bay Beach. It was already filling up - families with young children, young lovers, couples and singles with dogs.. people looking to catch a wave or a quick paddle.. just thought how good life can be if you just take the time to get out and be there!


I just sat on my bike and observed those around me. 











Family time was calling, so I headed back over the berg to be with them. 

I couldnt stop thinking what an awesome place we stay in  - you just need the initiative to get out there and experience it!!
