Cape Town, Baby!!

Sat 24th March ....

Baz Bused it all the way to Cape Town today, another all day journey but again some spectaculer views down the Garden Route. Actually awe-inspiring. The beauty found in this place in undeniable. From the first moment you meet it, it calls out to you, gently but firmly holding your attention. Infintely blue skies seperated from stretches of clean sand by powerful breakers rolling up to the waters edge - all this I had expected. What I had not been prepared for was the dramatic hills defining the landscape from the coast inwards. A distant mountain range shrouded in mist and glowing in the evening light rises gracefully up to meet the heavens, sending out rolls of grassy plains abounding from its feet. Once the sun has set, the golden orange glow gives way as darkness encroaches over the epic landscape. In the distance, the sky is punctuated by whispy clouds, stark in contrast against their gently luminous backdrop. All is peaceful as the world prepares for sleep.
