Elephants Eye cave, always a popular destination for local hikers, was surprisingly busy on a Wednesday morning. Easy to find and a great start for longer hikes towards Hout Bay and more. I have left the original audio for the bird sounds in the background. Wonderful day out in Silvermine Nature Reserve.

A fabulous morning on Table Bay with Ocean Wonders. This is definitely an activity that should be included in a holiday itinerary if there is the time and weather is favourable. It's worth making the time.
