This is the view of parts of Cape Town if you take the wrong route and end up on the mountain, this is what happened to us on our way back from Crystal Pools. Some places the paths arent that clear and you end up taking totally a different route that what is really mapped out.

Taking a swim! This is the best thing to do during a hot summer day in Cape Town. Going to Crystal Pools is worth it.

This is one long route, takes around a hour to get to the location of the pools and its a hard walk. The relief is sure worth it when reaching the actual pools.

This is Crystal Pools bridge. I know, must have some other name but I dont know the name of that river. This is the bridge that leads to Crystal Pools though after coming from Gordons Bay.

During the last 6 years this blog was a lot of things, one of those is dysfunctional. We hope to change that now.

We hope to feature events, news and everything to do with the Helderberg area, specifically Somerset West, Gordons Bay and Strand.
