August the 9th – Our 7th leg
Today we decided to take my wife for a quick tour and go up Signal Hill to have another perspective of Cape Town. Signal Hill is a landmark hill located in Cape Town right next to Lion-s Head and Table Mountain, where the Historic Noon gun is fired. It has fantastic views across Table Bay Harbour, the central city and the Atlantic ocean. When there is a full moon, this place get overcrowded of people coming to see Cape Town at night. There are a couple of hikes so that fitter people can walk all the way up.
After signal hill, we took a brief walk in Bo-Kaap formerly know as the Malay quarter. It is situated at the foothill of signal hill above the city centre. We only had a brief walk as we wanted to bring the children, so this is a place we will come back within a couple of days time.
On the way to the car we discovered this beautiful little coffee shop that had opened recently. Nice little shop with good coffee.
After signal hill I decided to take my wife for lunch in Kalk Bay. It is a fishing village on the coast of false bay and one of the trendiest seaside villages of Cape Town with fantastic restaurants and shops.
Overall it was a great and relaxing day for the two of us.
