[CAPE TOWN, South Africa] Did a tour round the Cape of Good Hope yesterday, it turns out is isnt the most southerly point of Africa. The Cape is very spectacular with green vegetation, sheer cliffs being bashed by seas and a constant wind in the face cooling one down during the African summer. One day I want to come back and ride the road along the cape, beautiful twisty corners with great ocean views, ofcourse on a motorcycle! We stopped by one of the great beaches to see the african penguins lazying in the sun...when they cry out they sound like a jack ass donkey!
I was quite lucky in visiting the Table Mountain which is behind the city. The cable car is often close, otherwise it is a 4 hour climb. In the morning the cable car was closed so I took the opportunity to catch some zzzzzz's, but around midday it had cleared up and the cable car was running. An Irish guy (thick accent, thus lip reading is essential!) and I took the car up, and within the half hour watched the clouds blow back over. Due to thermal properties beyond my comprehension, the clouds stick like shit to a blanket to the table top, and roll of the sides due to the down draft wind, looking like a table cloth from afar, hence the name 'Table Mountain' (1000m high). It was spectacular to see and gets rather cold due to the high winds, despite the summer temperatures down below.
Cape Town is very very beautiful. Just dont walk around here at night they say, which is backed up by the sirens I constantly here only at night, God knows what happens when night falls....
