However, following the passing of Nelson Mandela and the rise of numerous self-interested persons seeking power and wealth, the country chose a path of 'disaster' filled with corruption, danger, insecurity, et al, while deciding to ignore the majority of citizens. What a tragedy. (An opinion).
While we have made many hiking trips to South Africa, including the Cape Province as well as in Cape Town itself, this comprises a small selection from a trip in 2017 only.
As we descend a rocky trail on Table Mountain, a Cape Town icon presents itself.
Heading toward peak of Table Mountain via the 12 Apostles route.
Jen heading to 3-Sisters Peak in Kleinmond.
As the kids say, sometimes a person just hangs-out or is it a hangover?
Not surprising the French are famous vintners: The farm below in Franschoek viewed from on high with a telephoto.
A park near Hermanus, a wonderful place to live...in the ordinary course of life.
Take a look at another vineyard somewhere else.
"Yikes! We still have further to rise?"
Apparently. The route up Table Mountain via Indian Venster. (Window to India.)
A little late in the day to mention this to Jen...me, too. As our son, Gavin, is wont to retort, "So what you gonna do?"
Looking at Lion's Head from somewhere on Indian Venster, Table Mountain.
'Miss Cool' and the deep, wide blue ocean close to where the Indian and Atlantic meet. Talking of great historic meeting places.
'Okay, point made...sit down already! On second thoughts, maybe it's not a good idea.'
Now there's a brave and modest girl...okay, okay, woman.
Back to Table Mountain...one can't help it. Being so 'flat', it's an 'easy' walk, so they told us.
So how did you end up on Devil's Peak then? (Lion's Head at rear.) Dumb question...one step at a time.
'Oh! I see twinkle-toes joined you. You should travel more...get away from it (him) all."
'Might not be so easy to leave him on his own...looks quite needy'.
Outside of the city but not too far. (A way of covering for memory lapses. Oops! Perdekop.)
From Devil's Peak a view of the City, Greenpoint Stadium and Robben Island.
Jen developed a fondness for 'The Table' but eventually, even she had to quit walking and eating about it.
Medical opinion states that when one is tired, one should rest. Whether it's a literal suggestion is beyond our medical knowledge; thus we select our own interpretation. It seems to work generally, although prescribing a pillow would be nice.
Jen is close to peak but glances at the wonderful coastline. It must have been cold, for after a sweat, one would expect unbundling.

A peak with a view.
Taking the gap in color.
'The fairest Cape of them all...we could live with that.
