Our last day in Cape Town started early for Alastair and Connor, who woke up at 4:30am to climb Lion's Head to see the sun rise. The hope was for some photos similar to those we took a few nights before, or to be able to climb above the clouds and see a sea of cloud below, but it just wasn't to be!
After battling the darkness (almost all without a flashlight) and reaching the top, the sun rose, or at least we think it did since we didn't actually see the sun for a few more hours! But every cloud has a silver lining, and in this case, the cloud itself was its own silver lining. Alastair has always wanted to be in a cloud, completely surrounded, and this was definitely the case up on Lion's Head.
After spending a while admiring the cloud, and admiring themselves for reaching the top, Alastair and Connor descended to start the day. Our last day in Cape Town was relaxed. We just took things slow and enjoyed being in such a cool city. The weather wasn't great, but we were happy about our scheduling, which allowed us to do everything on seemingly the perfect days.
We spent a while playing around on a beach a little outside the city which has great views of Table Mountain when there is no cloud. It was nice to be on a beach again, since we haven't spend much time on beaches in our short marriage thus far!
Lastly, Laleinia likes this picture. Alastair trimmed his eyebrows for the first time recently. Not too shabby. Goodbye Cape Town, we had a great time. We would move there in a heartbeat.
