One of the things we really love to do together is go to new places so a few weekends ago we decided to take advantage of the wonderful Autumn weather and finally take a drive along Chapman's Peak.
This is one of the most beautifully scenic coastal drives you'll ever experience. It starts in Hout Bay and reaches all the way to Noordhoek (or visa versa but because we drive on the left hand side I'd recommend starting in Hout Bay - far less scary) and consists of 114 curves!!!! It's an absolutely stunning drive with the rock face on one side and the sea on the other.
Chapman's Peak is also known for it's horrific rockfalls but when the sun is out it makes for the perfect day out - there are even a few spots that are safe to stop at have a picnic.
We were both really blown away by how beautiful it was even though there were recently terrible veld fires which left a lot of the plants burnt, but the magical thing about nature is that the regrowth had already started leaving wonderful patches or vibrant bright green amongst the burnt bushes.
There is a tariff to use the pass but is definitely worth going. The Pass is occasionally closed for safety reasons when there is bad weather.
