Decided to start at Kirstenbosch today since the sun was shining on that side of the mountain again.
|  | 
| The waves are a little rougher today | 
|  | 
| The wind is still blowing | 
|  | 
| The sand has blown across the road | 
|  | 
| In Kirstenbosch, walking up the avenue of camphor trees | 
|  | 
| See the next photo for the tree itself | 
|  | 
| Arboretum | 
|  | 
| A Hahdidah (peacefully eating worms) | 
|  | 
| Hmmm, getting too close! | 
|  | 
| Wait! come back! | 
|  | 
| Tree Canopy Walkway also nicknamed the "Boomslang" (a type of {venomous} tree snake) | 
|  | 
| A kindergarten field trip | 
|  | 
| The peak to the right is Devil's Peak | 
|  | 
| The mama owl | 
|  | 
| Her two babies | 
|  | 
| Aren't they adorable? | 
|  | 
| My personal bath | 
|  | 
| Lion's Head and Signal Hill | 
|  | 
| The station at the top is clear but the winds are still too high for the cable car | 
|  | 
| We checked but, although they were at first hopeful, they had to keep it closed after all. | 
|  | 
| So we drove over to Signal Hill. Thankfully you can see the fire we saw yesterday was put out! | 
|  | 
| Robbin Island in Table Bay | 
|  | 
| About to fall off the edge | 
|  | 
| This is a take-off pad for hang-gliders | 
|  | 
| For lunch, we drove out to Blouberg area for the classic Table Mountain view | 
|  | 
| We counted over 30 kite-surfers | 
|  | 
| On our way to Canal Mall | 
|  | 
| The most opulent and by far the largest mall I have EVER been to. Over 400 shops and lots of high-end ones at that | 
|  | 
| Again today Helderberg is still clear | 
|  | 
| See the moon? | 
|  | 
| The grand turning on of the town's Christmas lights. You see, nobody decorates their house. The only Christmas lights are on main street of each town. |

| Town Hall at night |
