Since it's Wednesday, I thought that I would take a trot up to Chapmans Peak from the Noordhoek side where I live on my way to my creative lunch date in Hout Bay today - #wednesdaywalk
Three fun facts that I found out today about Chapmans Peak Drive which I didn't know before are that it was largely constructed by convict labour, it took a total of seven years to build and in 1977 a portion of it was washed away! Which if you've seen how high up it is, is pretty amazing to think about.
I took the photo above shortly before deciding to call a cab to take me the rest of the way to Hout Bay before I expired from the heat!
These are some photos of my lunch date with my eldest brother and best friend Brandon and my friend Jared.
We had so much fun!! The Clay Cafe is a rad little place in Hout Bay where you can pick out a ceramic shape (plates, animals, jugs etc) and have your creative way with it.
It was a great way to spend a Summer day in Cape Town, so often (especially when on holiday) we find ourselves in a bar or wine tasting which is fun don't get me wrong, but it was nice to do something different.
This was Hout Bay from Chapmans Peak Drive on the way home today in the early evening. The mountain you can see jutting out toward to sea is called The Sentinel and when the tide is low, there is the most incredible coastal hiking trail near its base.
Well that was Wednesday for me, I look forward to reading all everyone elses Wednesday Walk posts and thank you to @tattoo-djay for making it possible for us to share this window into my particular part of the world.
