Going home, away from the weather

I'm leaving Cape Town and Africa tomorrow. Anne is leaving on Sunday. People tell me that the weather in Oslo now is perfect, so I'm looking forward to see the sun again. This is how the weather looks this Monday:

Here is a live picture from Cape Town:

Hiking up Lion's Head

One of the coolest things about Cape Town is that there are three mountains smack bang in the middle of the city. Everyone knows Table Mountain, the big flat one. To the left of Table Mnt you have Devil's Peak and on the right hand side a small round cool mountain called Lion's Head. This afternoon we went on a wonderful hike up Lion's Head to watch the sunset. Eleven Norwegians, a couple of Americans and my Swazi friend Mzwandile set off at about 1630. The hike is only 45 min and you have a fantastic view of the city at all times, as you walk around the mountain two times to get to the top. Once we reached the "summit" wine, cheese and Norwegian milk chocolate was served!

Enjoy the pictures and see for yourself why Cape Town is called the most beautiful city in the world!
