Simon only got his motorcycle licence last year however we've been riding scooters in Asia for several years. The Harley was a revelationit's a beautiful machine, all shiny chrome and curved lines. It's huge. It controls the road and feels stable and safe and secure in a way that smaller bikes do not. I valued the backrest and felt far more comfy than on a scooter.
It's not the most amazing area of the drive, but Cape Town is never awful and there is constantly mountain scenery to take pleasure in. You could stop at the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, but if you have the time visit them as a separate trip (we recommend the summer season Sunday performances) to permit more time on the Peninsula.
We picked up a walk on the white sand beach with its colourful beach huts. The furious wind kept us from remaining longer. Kalk Bay Just past Kalk Bay with Fish Hoek in the background The drive along False Bay is stunning past adorable seaside towns backed by craggy mountains.
It's a regional institution but we discovered the pastries disappointingperhaps the cooked breakfasts are better. There are great deals of other coffee shops in Kalk Bay, along with special boutiques and antique stores.

Boulders Beach Boulders Beach (70R/$5 entryway) is home to a colony of threatened African penguins. There are two areas to see them. Boulders Beach is a little sheltered cove where you can swim or sunbathe with penguins on the rocks close by. It was loaded when we came to 10 am.
While it was incredible to see the adorable penguins in the wild, it was very windy therefore crowded with trip groups that we had a hard time to enjoy it. Find Out More Here to get here early or visit Stony Point Nature Reserve in Betty's Bay instead where we had a much more relaxing penguin experience.
Cape Point becomes part of the Cape of Excellent Hope Nature Reserve (135R/$10 entryway) and is very popularwe had to queue for 15 minutes to get in eviction. The queues distributed when we entered the park and it was a stunning (if scarily windy) drive to Cape Point.
