Kalk Bay Coffee and Muizenberg Beach


The red flag means that a shark was spotted less than hour ago! But there was a lot of shark biscuits out there anyway.

Harmony Flats Nature Reserve





Today I went to Harmony Flats. Att hitta dit var dock inte så harmoniskt.




Critically endangered Lourensford Alluvium Fynbos is found at Harmony Flats. Unfortunately I took pictures of the alien vegetation. Sorry about that.





Two kids on a horse.

Bracken Nature Reserve


Bracken Nature Reserve used to be a city dump. Now it is on rehab, a conservation site!



Wilting flowers. Vissna blommor är fina.



The person that I was talking to there showed me wild plums. Tasty, but sour.




Peacock! This cute bird is apparently not supposed to be in this environment, it is "alien" and "invasive", so the peacock is not wanted in the nature reserve. But where should it go? And, even if it wants to leave, the fence is kind of in the way.

Rondevlei





I like rain.









Birds at Rondevlei Nature Reserve. Vlei = lake!









A sugarbird! At Rondevlei we met a couple of ecologists who were busy with catching birds in a net (!!).




We went to Rondevlei because hippos live there. Hippos are very shy.





This flower, Erica something, is apparently very special. Endemic, which is a very powerful word.

Imizamo Yethu





Imizamo Yethu in Hout Bay. I met a rainy little dog.




It has been a couple of cold and rainy days in Cape Town. And some roofs of these houses was taken by the heavy winds.


Shebeen (bar).

M-berg surf!




Jag har surfat!! Jag såg inga hajar! Men, för ett tag sedan var det hajvarning vilket betyder att jag är modig som surfar. Det var mäktigt att ha en sån där dräkt!









Aaron lärde mig grunderna och jag stod nästan upp en gång!

Hoerikwaggo, Table Mountain, Tafelberg!




Walking up Platteklip Gorge on the City Bowl side of the Table Mountain.
















Some flowers along the way up!














After 1, 5 hours I reached the top. Helt fantastisk utsikt alltså!






City Centre of Ikapa, Kaapstad, Cape Town!









Took the cableway down. A bit lazy maybe, but pretty cool! An older Swedish couple next to me seemed a bit nervous 'Oj, vad fort den åker!'
