| "CHAPPIES" DRIVE IS ONE OF THE MOST SCENIC MARINE DRIVES IN THE WORLD. 15KMS OF WINDING ROADS WITH SEARING MAJESTIC MOUNTAINS ON ONE SIDE AND A DRAMATIC DROP DOWN TO CRASHING WAVES ON HUGE ROCKS IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN ON THE OTHER. A PHOTOGRAPHER'S DREAM WITH STOPOVERS ALL ALONG THE WAY, TO WALK, PHOTOGRAPH, PICNIC. ONE OF MY FAVORITE DRIVES FROM HOUT BAY UP AND OVER TO NOORHOEK ON THE OTHER SIDE. |
 |
| LOOKING UP THE MOUNTAIN WITH THE ROADWAY CARVED OUT OF THE MOUNTAIN AND GORGEOUS INDIGENOUS VYNBOS THAT PROTECT THE MOUNTAIN FROM THE ATLANTIC WINDS. |
 |
| WILD PELAGONIUM, WATSONIAS, PINCUSHION PROTEAS AND THOUSANDS OF OTHER NATIVE VYNBOS COVER THE MOUNTAINSIDE DOWN TO THE OCEANS EDGE |
 |
| LOOKING BACK DOWN THE MOUNTAIN FROM WHERE WE DROVE WITH HOUT BAY NESTLED IN THE HOLLOW |
 |
| FLOWERING PELAGONIUM, OTHER INDIGENOUS CAPE VYNBOS AT THE FOOT OF CHAPMAN'S PEAK |
 |
| UP AND OVER THE OTHER SIDE WITH A VIEW OF NOORDHOEK BEACH - ONE OF THE MOST EXPANSIVE BEACHES AROUND - 7 KMS OF WHITE BEACHES WHERE YOU WILL SEE SURFERS, BEACHGOERS AND HORSERIDING ALIKE |
 |
| NOORDHOEK BEACH STRETCHES ALL THE WAY AROUND TO "KOMMETJIE" WITH IT'S SIGNATURE LIGHTHOUSE OUT ON THE PENINSULA |
 |
| COLORFUL STREET ART |
 |
| ARRIVING IN KALK BAY, FIRST STOP THE AMAZING BAKERY |
 |
| LUNCH AT THE VERY COLORFUL AND ECLECTIC OLYMPIA CAFE ON THE MAIN ROAD GOING THROUGH KALK BAY |
 |
| THE MOST DELICIOUS STEAK ROLL FOR LUNCH |
 |
| A HUT ON THE BEACH, ALONG THE RAILWAY LINE IS CAPE TO CUBA, A RESTAURANT INSPIRED BY ERNEST HEMMINGWAY AND DECORATED WITH A HODGEPODGE OF CHANDELIERS, DEVOTIONAL OBJECTS, VASES, AND REFERENCES TO HEMMINGWAY AND CHE GUEVARA, THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE NAME OF THE BAR. |
