If we take the road ahead ...


... or peek through the window ...

... or go down the path ...


... and cool down by the bubbling water ..

... and kiss the 'Kissi kissi stones' !!! ...


... she won't look ... I promise !

... he may take a peek ...


... and he will crow in the morning ....


... and if we ascend in the cable car ..


... we'll be on top of Table Mountain in the beautiful Cape of Southern Africa ..


... where mountains touch the clouds ...


..and grapes grow in abundance ..


... and elephants hide in bushes ...


... and sunshine reflects in water 'balls' (got a little lost for words here !) :)


.... and peacocks show off their striking colours ...


.. while we nibble on a tasty salad ..


.. and sip a glass of wine overlooking the Franshoek Valley ...


.. or watch the sun setting over Somerset West

Be sure to come with me again and I shall show you more of this most beautiful part of South Africa

Must add here ... this was FUN .. driving along the country roads .. with the top down .. Thelma and Louise (Kathy and I) -without the scarf floating behind !!
