A depressing goodbye to Capetown

In all my posts about Capetown, I've mentioned the infamous Table Mountains. And they really are amazing - a flat city surrounded by huge mountains! And so, every day, I've been trying trying trying to get up there, waiting for the clouds to clear.

And of course, on today, my last day, I got up early in anticipation for a (as forecast) beautiful winter's day with NO CLOUDS. Instead, I got miserable Melbourne weather. Which didn't clear. As a sat in a cafe eating, drinking, and waiting ...

... As afternoon fell and I realised my Table Mountains cable car / photography extravaganza would be on hold until I come back (when, not if?!), I took a taxi up there anyway and tried to get some good photos of the view from the foot of the mountain.

What did I get? Nothing ... apart from moody, mysterious photos like this



The depressing thing is that that photo was taken in COLOUR!

I had a good night out in the end with two girls who were friends-of-friends of one the people I worked with in Mozambique. We went to some cool places ... Mount Nelson Hotel (this famous 5 star hotel painted pink!) and a gourmet burger joint ... yummmmmmmmmm

The irony of course was that, the morning I left (at 5:30am in the morning, still in the dark!) to catch my 2 hour flight to Joburg and 13 hour flight to Hong Kong), it was clear enough to get nice shots of the city by pre-sun morning ...



Next time, Capetown! (I'll show you!!)
