Road Trip! Table Mountain/ Cape Point/ Boulder's/ Harour House

Here is a copy of the itinerary for the day, we did miss a couple of stops but the day was spectacular none the less. It was a fabulous way to spend Grammy's birthday.  I was able to spend some quiet time on the top of Table Mountain and shared the views of Cape Point with the family. Our lunch stop was fantastic and the trip to Boulders was simply amazing... so many penguins! The night was capped off with a lovely dinner at The Harbour House to celebrate Grammy's Birthday!

WED 13 JUNE                          WILL BE A LONG DAY.       I THINK A DEPARTURE AT 0800 WOULD BE THE BEST IF YOU ARE WANTING TO VISIT BOTH MONKEYLAND AND STREETWIRES IN THE CITY OF  CAPE TOWN BEFORE HEADING OVER THE MOUNTAIN PASS AND THROUGH THE SEASIDE RESORT OF CAMPS BAY TO THE FISHING VILLAGE OF HOUT BAY.   IF YOU ARE WANTING TO VISIT SEAL ISLAND IT IS FROM THIS PIER THAT YOU WILL DEPART BUT I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT.           BY PASS HOUTBAY AND TRAVEL UP THE SCENIC CHAPMANS PEAK DRIVE (OUR EQUIVALENT OF THE BIG SUR) PASSING THE BEAUTIFUL BEACHES OF NOORDHOEK AND KOMMETJIE AS YOU HEAD FOR CAPE POINT WHERE THE COLOURS OF THE OCEANS, INDIAN AND ATLANTIC, ARE MOST APPARENT.  ONE CAN CERTAINLY BE FORGIVEN FOR THINKING THAT YOU ARE STANDING ON THE SOUTHERN MOST POINT OF AFRICA.          IT IS BEAUTIFUL.     CONTINUE FROM HERE TO BOULDERS TO VISIT THE JACKASS PENGUIN COLONY.                  I WOULD RECOMMEND JUST A QUICK LUNCH TODAY,  JEREMY TO DECIDE,  PERHAPS AT BOULDERS,    WHERE YOU CAN WALK ALONG THE WALKWAY AFTER LUNCH  AND JEREMY CAN MEET YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE.         I WOULD LIKE, IF THE WEATHER PLAYS ALONG, FOR YOU TO END YOUR DAY UP TABLE MOUNTAIN.          

THIS IS THE PLAN BUT THE WEATHER IN THE CAPE DOES NOT ALWAYS PLAY ALONG,    JEREMY WILL HAVE A GOOD LOOK AT THE FORECAST AND IF HE FEELS HE MUST START THE DAY UP TABLE MOUNTAIN SO BE IT.         I DO SO HOPE THAT THE MOUTAIN IS OPEN AND NOT UNDER CLOUD DURING YOUR STAY IN OUR MOTHER CITY.    

UNFORTUNATELY MY FAVOURITE RESTAURANT, SEVRUGA, HAS DECIDED TO CLOSE FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE TO DO RENOVATIONS  SO WE HAVE TO GO WITH MY SECOND FAVOURITE AND THAT IS THE HARBOUR HOUSE CAFE AT  WHICH I HAVE CONFIRMED A TABLE WITH A VIEW AT 7.00P.M.    ENJOY.
