Archive of all walks along Tafelberg Road here.

Michele joined me for a short walk after work. A birthday walk!



We started at Platteklip and walked on to the closed section of the road.



It was very busy with other walkers and cyclists. We continued on to the corner, and then walked back again, enjoying the golden late afternoon light.

We started our walk at the Kloof Corner parking area. From here I like to look down to the hairpin bend below.

We walked on along the road, past the lower cable way station and onwards towards Platteklip. I also love the view down to the harbour.

We saw some flowers seen on the way: sweet-smelling freesia.

Also sweet-smelling... Cape Sweetpea, Podalyria calyptrata.

And we also saw Zaluzainskya. Thus is the mystery bud I saw on my last walk. Great to see it open. What a cute flower!

Cape Town: City Centre Streets

Date: 21 March 2012

Location: City Bowl, Cape Town

Walkers: Dorothy, Michele & Helen

Public holiday today, and we went for a little stroll around the city centre, starting near Heritage Square on Bree Street, and meandering around Wale, Loop and various side streets, looking in store windows.



We then crossed Wale and walked up Long.






Always lots going on in this part of town: interesting shops, film shoots, trendy coffee houses, street life.




We on to the top of Bree Street... some welcome shade under the fever trees, and a host of new shops, restaurants and businesses in this area.




And lastly back down to Longmarket Street and some delicious lunch at Dear Me Restaurant.
