Sonopkoms en sonsondergang fotos is van my gunsteling fotos om te neem. So rukkie terug het ons 'n naweek op Plettenbergbaai deurgebring. Dit was 'n bibberend koue oggend en ek het maar gesukkel om uit die bed te kom, maar wou graag op die strand wees vir sonopkoms.

Joubert House
Most people probably find town museums quite boring, but I love what they have to offer.

Somerset West ghost hill
When I was in primary school we went on a school tour to Cape Town and one of the places we visited was the ghost hill in Somerset West.

One of the newest attractions in Cape Town is the 40 meter high Wheel of Excellence at the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront.
