The back of Table Mountain, the Twelve Apostles emerges from the mist as we drive on to the other small fishing community in the Peninsula. This is also a very affluent area, as you can see. On one side, enshrouded in mist, the commercial trawlers, on the other the big game fishing boats.
Then up Chapman's Peak Drive as far as legally permissible. A few years ago a fire ravaged the entire mountain, the winter rains came and the road slid down into the sea. The entire mountain has been caught in huge wires mesh to try and prevent rockfalls. It has been closed again for a year now - only walkers, the Argus Cycle tour and the Two Oceans Marathon get to use it now. We stopped to look out over the Sentinel Peak which stands guard over Hout Bay.
