Saturday
Dear Elsie
I missed speaking to you today, but it was the day we walked Cape Town’s famous pipe track. The pipe track dates back to 1887. It was built to carry water from the Disa George, at the back of the Table Mountain to the Molteno reservoir in Oranjezicht.
As we walked, I realised I’ve never been along this hiking route. It won’t be the last that’s for sure. It goes on and on and I think you could walk through to Bakoven. We walked about 45 minutes and then turned around. The photos tell the story. There is no sign saying, “Pipe Track”. Park at the closest parking area at the start of Table Mountain Rd, very close to Kloof Rd. It starts on the Camps Bay side just behind the Cable Way sign. This is where it begins.
Camps Bay and the 12 Apostles. 
Interesting photo. My shadow taking the photo. Shadow of a massive tree that looks like a hand.
The water pipes are clearly visible in varying degrees.
Walking beneath the Water Treatment plant.
Looking up at the Cable Car building.
The views are altogether spectacular and today was the perfect day to enjoy them. The weather was lovely.
Absolutely worth the drive to Cape Town. I’d love to do it again and go a bit more prepared for a longer ramble. Maybe tomorrow we’ll go somewhere else.
Psalm 121:5-6
The Lord watches over you— the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
