Smitswinkel Bay

Smitswinkel Bay

Unfortunately these photos don't do the place justice. It is absolutely gorgeous. It is quite a steep climb and not accessible by car. No Tv, No electricity, probably no phones, didn't see any lines, and Cell reception also non-existent. But what it doesn't have in mod-cons it more than makes up for in wild, exquisite beauty. 

This picture is the path that leads down to the hamlet.

The veld is dotted with these flame lilies

The disturbance in the middle of the picture is a school of dolphins having a feeding frenzy.

We saw these dolphins on our way back driving over the pass.

We had ice cream in Simonstown, yuck!.

My dad used to make ice cream. Simonstown yacht club ice cream definitely wasn't up to scratch. If you want ice cream, the place in Kalk Bay is better, the best is in Hout Bay, and St Marco's on the waterfront for gelato.

Argus Cycle Tour

The Argus Cycle Tour no longer goes through Kommetjie

The Argus Cycle Race now takes a shortcut through Ocean View.  Kommetjie is closed today, no entry, no exit. The race no longer goes through Kommetjie - the bends are too dangerous, too many accidents.

Spectators cheering the cyclists on at the turnoff to Ocean View.  Helicopters, Ambulances, Traffic cops, and other support people standing by to keep everyone safe and watered. 

Need a massage after the Argus Cycle Race to relieve sore muscles?
