Tonight we hiked Lion’s Head, one of the peaks overlooking Camps Bay and Cape Town. Before tonight, I had no idea how was this was supposed to resemble the head of a lion. Kevin tried to explain it in terms of “Lion’s Head” vs. “Lion’s Rump” and I actually bought into it for a little while. Until someone pointed out it is actually supposed to look like a lion-sphinx (my favorite animal?). We started the trek up around sunset and had the most gorgeous views of the water as we made out way. Once we got to the top, we could turn and see the sun setting to our left and moon rising to our right at the same time. It was a full moon and it looked massive as it rose over the city lights. Everyone brought picnics and wine—because climbing dangerous peaks under the influence is always advisable. Here are a few pictures that don’t do it justice…
