Cape Town Storms

Wednesday, 12 November 2008


Cape Town Waterfront and not a supermarket in site. Take note Fort William:-)

Unfortunately this wonderful view disappeared behind a cloak of very windy and wet weather a couple of days ago. The Cape Doctor is usually associated with a persistent dry south-easterly wind, so called as it clears the air in a beneficial fashion. However it appears that this Weather Pattern is serving up some unusual medicine as it is also accompanied by very wet weather. Just like home really!


The Volvo Round the World Ocean Race are in town for a couple of weeks before heading off on the second leg.
View from the foothills beneath Table Mountain, towards the main city and waterfront.

Approaching bad weather. But not all is lost, as there are plenty of bad weather options, not least of which is a Wine Tour!



Cape of Good Hope. Not quite the southern-most tip of Africa. That is agreed as Cape Agulhas
