                         Standing half way up Signal hill, the sound of the vuvuzelas was quite incredible                                                                    as you can  hear in the video's

                                                                                Green Point

Umngazi on the Wild Coast photos.Third and last part

I spend the rest of the afternoon walking along the beach, which beauty was difficult to capture
Needless to say my jeans got totally soaked when I took this shot crouching down low in the water and a wave rolled in while I was looking through the viewfinder but I didn't care the day was warm and when I finally arrived back in the camp in late afternoon my jeans were dry again

Its been an amazing time staying in the Umngazi bungalows on the Wild coast was pure bliss, it was very easy to make temporary friends with other guests, everybody young and old,seems to have a fantastic time, that evening there was live music in the bar before we devoured a sea food buffet with Crayfish calamari prawns and loads of other delicacies,finished off with a dance and singing show by our Zulu staff it was fun ;)

These last photos were taken during the morning hike in the hills


I must say I felt so sore the next day, the climbing and walking in soft sand had taken its toll

you can see the accommodation clinging to the hillside, surrounded by sub tropical vegetation on the right of the photo

I hope I was able to show you what an heavenly place this is
Difficult to get to, bad roads and lots of cattle wandering on the road forces you to take them slow but so worth it !

Green Point/Mouille Point in Cape Town

Apart from the photo at the bottom which I published in flickr I have never shown any of these shots before, simply because someone critisised them so much What do you think of them ?
Tall building on the left is the Ritz hotel with the only rotating restaurant in Cape Town at the top The view is stupendous , rooms on this side look over the whole of the Green point Common and far beyond
Click photos to enlarge

The place I am standing is called Mouille Point

the mountain is Lions Head

When I roll my car down the hill I end up here Well more or less .. I like this spot...its right behind the Green Point Light House because no matter which way you turn, there are gorgeous views to shoot, its also an excellent spot to shoot the sunset
