Through the Elephant’s Eye

Wow, we've have done many hikes while here on holiday in Cape Town. The last hike of the year was from the Silver Mine dam to the Elephant's Eye. If you look west from Tokai towards Constantia you'll see the mountains form the shape of an elephant. In the head part of the elephant is a cave. The opening is large, about 30m high and 20m wide but does not go more than 30m in. We could see the cave from Aunt Winnie's home yesterday evening. It was then that we planned to hike up to the cave. It is not a long hike with good views of the Cape Flats and ends with a refreshing dip in the Silver Mine dam. As we look into the future through the elephant's eye, I want the wish all my readers a blessed 2009.
