Thursday June 15
Heading to Cape Town.
First stop is an aloe factory (a different variety to aloe vera, of which the staff were dismissive of its efficacy).
The store had hundreds, yes hundreds of cosmetic, health and well being products.
Outside was the largest aloe plant in the world.
The ironic part of me noted that this was an artificial plant, not a living aloe plant.
Some of the locals, walking as usual, and balancing a load on the head.
Not sure if this sign means no hitchhiking, or no agreeing that all is OK.
Clouds descending on the mountain
Meanwhile, the winery harnesses blue skies
It was too cold, cloudy and windy to risk the cable car to Table Mountain, so we went up Signal Hill – still cold and windy, but at least we had a view.
Table Mountain and Lion’s Peak
The island where Nelson Mandela was in prison.
And Table Mountain still hadn’t cleared
