2010 Green Point Soccer Stadium in Cape Town as seen from the sea

No apologies for this cheesy image
 I enjoyed creating it :)

 This is of course the view I had from the Tigresse

Leaving the V&A Waterfront with Green Point on Signal Hill in the back ground

The stadium does look big here, compared to the apartment buildings, it wasn't a spectacular sunset but just pleasant and motoring quietly along Green Point and Sea Point on a calm sea, was so lovely.

View of the 2010 World Cup Green Point Stadium from the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town

The weather had changed during the afternoon. When I arrived at the V&A Waterfront late afternoon it looked threatening, so I quickly took some photos and narrowly escaped being sprayed by a seagull
then walked to the other side of the Waterfront Shopping Mall to do some shopping. While I was getting some groceries it briefly rained, stepping outdoors again I noticed this beautiful rainbow

Sunset Evening and Night shot of the new World Cup 2010 Green Point Stadium

How beautiful the sunset was We are in the middle of a spell of exeptional beautiful warm weather and its supposed to be mid winter here !
There was not a cloud to be seen

Walk the Oribi suspension bridge Not a place for fertigo sufferers

This is the first thing you see when you arrive at the Oribi swing bridge
You can survey the bridge from the lookout house and decide if you want to risk your life walking it :) or rather take the path leading to the other side
Only 6 people are allowed on it at the same time and believe me people strictly adhere to that rule

Walking the swing bridge didnt bother me, even though it sways with every step but the metal bridge jutting out over the gorge (you need to click on the photo to see it better) was moving when I walked to the end and I must say I didn't linger too long :)

To see this vantage point one of several you need to pay R10 admission fee to the Oribi Gorge Conference Hotel and Adventure Resort.
Here you can peer down over the edge at the awesome grandeur of the gorgeThe KwaZulu-Natal landscape seems endless from here

I just discovered this cool virtual website it shows the view from the Oribi Lookout house Click and drag on the picture to take a look around. (tip: Click on fullscreen mode)
