Wildflowers in the park

Since we missed out on a few beautiful days at the start of our Cape Town experience, we've been waiting for a good one to climb Table Mountain. It's getting down to the last 2 days, and we woke up this morning to horrible rain and heavy cloud. Now, what to do??? The weather did seem to be breaking a little, but we could not see the top of the mountain. Seeing as it is Spring in South Africa, apparently, the wild flowers are in full bloom up the coast in the West Coast National Park. We hopped in our rental and buzzed up to the park. Having a SA National Parks 'Wild Card' has really given us the flexibility to go into the parks whenever we want, and this was no exception.
An interesting park right on the coast with a large, sandy bay with huge tidal sands. And a little bit of wildlife thrown in. It was interesting to see the zebras, wildebeest and antelope all amongst the colourful wildflowers. Unfortunately, I think we missed the peak of the fields of flowers, but they were still a colourful sight for our eyes nonetheless.
As our luck would have it, the rain went away and the sun came out. All day, we kept thinking about Table Mountain, and had we missed our chance to finally get up on top in good weather. We hustled back to Cape Town in the late afternoon, but didn't have enough time to go up. Fingers crossed for good weather on tomorrow on our last day in Cape Town.
It was home to our last night with Lionel and Elmara, for a dinner and drinks, enjoying their company. *Stub
