…this is what it looked like from the top….
….beeuuuuuwtiful! Views to Lion’s Head and the Upper Cable Station with a cable car in action!
If you’re seeking activities…
Looking out at that mountain and the beautiful blue sky, I just had to organise a hike up TM tomorrow. Skeleton to Platteklip. Searched Google for “Weather Cape Town” and my first pick was http://www.uncoverthecape.co.za. Great find! I like especially the Cape Town Hikes section. Hike route descriptions are included, with approximate length in hours, photos and a printable map!
The site also gives some useful information about activities in the Cape, as well as the usual accommodation etc. The Events section by month is pretty comprehensive. You can add your own event for free using an online form. Whilst I’m on the mountain tomorrow, I’ll be missing The Three Little Pigs at the Baxter and Bushmans Kloof Gourmet Food & Wine Weekend.
They’ve got a complete Gauteng Guide too, which I know I’ll use when I’m there. Can’t seem to find any RSS Feeds though. We like to add upcoming events to our 2010 Cape Town Music Gigs to help all the tourists and locals (including me!) have a good time.
The “new” shopping hours
It’s taken me a while to remember that people go home here. No more of the 8 – 9 Sainsbury’s or 24 hour Tesco top up your supplies opportunities. Mostly, I leave the grocery shop to the last minute and I’d prefer not to have to trawl through web pages to find opening times, whilst the doors slowly close. If you agree, you can save this page to your “Shopping” favourites and hopefully it’ll get you to the shop on time!
