Wine Country, Scarborough, and Table Mountain

Today was another full day of sightseeing. We had a lazy morning ending with a walk on Scarborough Beach. This is the first time we ventured the short walk down to the beach. The wind was howling, 30+ mph. It was easy to deal with because it is warm out. The wind also attracted a large number of wind surfers. Scarborough is very small. If it had a business center it would feel very much like Cannon Beach. Nice to be so remote yet have very easy access to Cape Town central. The difficulty with driving is the water, mountains, and narrow roads. Our garmin (loaded with S. Africa maps) has been golden for getting us around.
We took a road trip into Cape Town that is the lesser traveled (more scenic) Atlantic Ocean side of the Cape.
We stopped for a snack and drink for sunset before heading back to Scarborough.
I seem to be having trouble captioning pictures, so, I'll list them here:
End of wine country, Stellenbosch
Scarborough Beach, Camel rides in town
Signal Hill, with views of Table Mountain (Table Mountain was closed due to wind today)
