Cape of Storms

Damon and I took the car around Cape point to check the beaches for some potential surfing spots. We drove to Clifton beach which is BEAUTIFUL but ...has no waves. We chilled in the sun for a bit before we drove to Hout Baai. Apparently someone said Clifton has an exclusive Gay beach but most of the people around us were straight, or had their families out and about....strange. I wonder what it means to be Gay to South Africans.

The last picture is the view of "Leeu Kop' (Lion's Head) from Clifton Beach - almost looks like a lion's head.... go figure eh?





We went to Hout Baai, but still...no surf. I had the best mussels at a restaurant right on the beach here. There's a few century old castle owned by a German widow up in the mountains but due to the sunlight and the shade of the mountain the picture quality was bad, but it looks pretty medieval.




Third time's a charm: Llundudno is a beach down a very steep hill on the drive between Hout Baai (Hout Bay) and Clifton. The surf was great, and we're heading there next week to give it a whirl.
