Cape Town - Chapman Peak Drive - Day 1: (2 of 7)

We rode Chapman's Peak Drive, a world-famous 5.6 mile coastal road on the southwestern tip of South Africa about 15 miles from downtown Cape Town. We began at Hout Bay as it wound along the sheer cliff faces of Chapman's Peak, to the rural beachside community of Noordhoek where we stopped to relax with one of the best cups of coffee we ever had (maybe it was the scenery).

At one point the road curved tightly along the vertical flank of the 1950 foot high mountain which dropped straight down into the Atlantic Ocean below. In addition, our guide drove us along 114 bends and S-curves. Sadly, we did pass one area among all this beauty, Imizamo Yethu & Hangberg which are poor areas integrated in this area and have been as far back as our guide could remember. We visited Noordhoek Farm https://thefarmvillage.co.za a fun little village and relaxing stop "in the middle of nowhere". Quite a drive, great views and photos!
