I visited Kirstenbosch Gardens on a midsummer Sunday afternoon, early January. It was an overcast misty day and everything looked so lush. The paths were filled with Capetonians and tourists alike all enjoying the beauty before us. The pelargoniums took my breath away, they were so prolific and fragrant.

Respite on Land’s Edge
Lovers hold hands,
friends toast,
as parents shout out to their kids.
I am silent
is that chill from the mist,
or is it from the memory submerged?
I arrived to Cape Town, after completing a 6 day bicycle tour in the Western Cape, mid-day on Sunday. After quickly checking in at my hotel I immediately hired a car to take me to Table Mountain National Park, the iconic place that holds the soul of the city. I was just able to take in the views before the clouds rolled in.
