Welcome to My World - CHAPMANS PEAK, CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA
As most of you have gathered by now, my family and I often go on little mini road trips on Sundays - especially if the weather is good. Cape Town is honestly one of the most beautiful places on planet earth and I am truly blessed to be able to call it home!
A couple of weeks ago we did a trip around Chapmans Peak. It boasts some of the most breathtaking views you have ever seen. The only photo that is not mine is the above one - but we were "on the drive" so I could not possibly show you a view of "looking at it" and it is magnificent to see from that perspective... hence the above :)
Chapman’s Peak Drive on the Atlantic Coast between Hout Bay and Noordhoek in the Cape Peninsula is one of the most spectacular marine drives in the world. Chapman’s Peak Drive is affectionately known as “Chappies” and is a must for anyone who is passionate about the majestic scenery of Cape Town.
Initially constructed during the First World War, this 9km route with its 114 curves, skirts Chapman's Peak, the 593m high southerly extension of Constantia Berg, and follows the rocky coastline to unfold breathtaking views in both directions.
The route starts at the picturesque fishing harbour of Hout Bay and the climb winds steeply up to Chapman's Point, revealing breathtaking views of the sandy bays down below, until the road reaches lower levels again at Noordhoek.
Chapman’s Peak and the surrounding areas offer local and foreign visitors a myriad of things to do. It also offers business people an alternative and convenient access route between Cape Town and the South Peninsula, saving the commuter up to 20 minutes in peak traffic. In short, it forms the gateway between Cape Town and the South Peninsula. Content Source
On this particular occasion I managed to get some absolutely winner shots (well I think so any way lol) so I thought I would share them with all of you...

You think I was kidding when I told you it is one of the top tourist destinations in the world.... it isn't called "The Mother City" for no reason hey :)

Looks like a great family outing such a beautiful area, a shame I never made it there when I was traveling back in the day
A true shame indeed.... but hey... never say never :)
I always used to say Never say Never, but flying and me don't mix well these days so most of my traveling will be here and by road :)
