Christmas Eve

One day to go until we celebrate Jesus' birthday and it is still windy but the rain is gone. In the morning we explored Simon's Town, visiting the Museum and Historic buildings. The Naval Museum was closed so we hope to pop in next week again. After Simon's Town we went over the mountain along Red Hill to Kommetjie. In the afternoon Matthew and I hiked up to Elsies Peak to be awarded with stunning views of Kalk Bay, Fish Hoek, Glencairn and Simon's Town. Here is windswept Matthew at the top of Elsies Point with the Roman Rocks Lighthouse to his far right and Simon's Town to his left. In the mountains we met two grannies who were in their 70s and they said that they are in the mountains everyday. They had pruning shears and a saw with them to cut down alien plants. They had stopped at Elsies Point for some tea from a flask. They seem very fit. I think I am going to be stiff and sore tomorrow.
