Table Mountain from the V&A Waterfront
The last couple of posts featured visiting Table Mountain and going up by cable car as well as the fabulous panoramic views and view sites on top of the mountain.

Montagu Nature Garden
While exploring the town of Montagu in the Western Cape I discovered the Montagu Nature Garden on the outskirts of town. I wouldn't really call it a garden, but rather a nature reserve as it covers quite a big area. The Montagu Nature Garden was established in 1954, the year that Montagu celebrated its centenary. Montagu Nature … Continue reading Montagu Nature Garden
Cruising the Breede River at Viljoensdrift
There is probably no better way to enjoy the Viljoensdrift wines than leisurely cruising along the Breede River on a sunny day. The Viljoensdrift wine estate offers one hour cruises up and down the river from their shop and tasting area on the farm and although we're not wine lovers (and you don't have to actually drink wine … Continue reading Cruising the Breede River at Viljoensdrift
