Kistenbosch

A relaxing stroll in Kirstenbosch. The highlight was getting a photo of a male and female Cape Batis. Beautiful they were.

Climbing Table Mountain via Dark Gorge

A more challenging route up Table Mountain that was very rewarding with lots of beautiful forrest and stunning views from the top. The highlight of the day was video-calling Colleen and Steve on the way down. Wonderful to reconnect with them after so many years.

Climbing Chapman's Peak with Russell, Brandon and Lilly

 A wonderful hike with Russell, Brandon and Lilly (the very cute doggie Russell was looking after.)  Tiny Lilly had insatiable energy and climbed virtually the whole way on her own steam.  We hadn't intended to, but we ended up going all the way to the top.  Lots of wonderful conversation, especially reminiscing about nudity in movies !
