• Signal Hill

    September 11, 2025 in South Africa ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    This morning we woke up to a cloudy and overcast day with fog and the occasional drop of rain. It was a slow start to the day, so we went out to Camps Bay for a walk up and down the beach, and stopped into Mantra Cafe for some breakfast and a coffee. Mantra was really nice with some great interior design, great food and a funky little homewares shop at the front that had Leah wanting to take home everything.
    We went from there to explore Clifton Beaches, which would have been nicer if the weather wasn’t so overcast, but with 14° water temperature, we weren’t going for a swim anyways.
    Back at the house for the kids to sleep, we then went to Bo-Kapp to see if we could visit the beautiful painted houses again. It was much busier this time, but this felt safer than last time.
    From there we grabbed some snacks and drinks and headed up to Signal Hill to watch the sunset. It was a great afternoon with the weather clearing, warm sun, good company, and a stunning sunset. We watched till the sun went down before descending the mountain to grab some of the most amazing wood fire pizza we’ve had! Hot Honey and Salami, prosciutto basil and burrata, and Italian sausage too!
    We went to bed feeling well satisfied with our stay in Cape Town with a great afternoon to top off the week before heading to Stellenbosch.
