9:48 am
and space. but he doesn't report an adrian place the landscape around. cape town is one thing about ho motorcyclists. paradise. welcome to cape town, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. today i will take you on the rights to show you my 3 most favorites routes in and around cape town. we're starting right here in how it's bay in the harbor. great place to wrap some fresh fish and energy before heading over there to chapman's peak rice with ah, ah. chapman speakers named after john chapman captain made of an english ship that sailed into how to be in 16 o 7. he was sent to shore to find provisions, not knowing it would one day be the location of one of the world's most famous
9:49 am
roads. in 1915 construction started on the steep slopes. 7 years later, the road was opened. what an amazing view do you have? so many different viewing points here, you can just stop and basically spend the whole day enjoying the view. and it's really cool. it's changing all the time where the weather change. the clouds are changing. santas coming out sun is living. it's just awesome. just make sure you take some snacks with your picnic box there. no restaurants and shops along the way . chapman speak drive, also known as chappies amongst the locals, is a 9 kilometer long drive along the coast. it also forms part of 2 big sports events . the 2 oceans marathon and the cape town cycle to a during the tour around $35000.00 bicycles pass by here. the road has 114 curves, right between the ocean and the cliffs. they have been some rock folds and landslides in the past, so keep your eyes on the street. i drive. so this is where you arrive at the end of
9:50 am
the drive at this beautiful not hook beach right next to not or you can see it's very long as beautiful st. normally you would see more, but as i told you earlier, the weather is changing. all the time, you know, it's even drizzling a bit and all the clouds came up. so that's the reason why i will not jump into the water for refreshment. today is ice cold anyway, the water, some people though are daring. they are in there, in case you are planning to do it. go ahead, but be aware of the rip currents. you've got to be a good swimmer. if you're out in the water there, we're adding to our next destination. now to another beautiful route, a little bit outside of cape town. all right, let's get ready for a route number to bend. clue, pass between the towns of wellington and sir, it's round about one of the half hours from cape town by road. it was named you guessed that after the guy who built it, andrew bane, but he obviously did not do most of the hard work. yes, he was the road engineer and it is a fine piece of road engineering. but most of the work, like i said,
9:51 am
ma'am speak was done by convicts who were forced to do the hard labor. many of them died, the road was opened in 1854 last time i got here, it was a bit bumpy and narrow. so you could feel it all. that's the looks like the summer on the most exciting part of this mountain passes about 18 kilometers long. it is quite a narrow road and landscape is amazing. no wonder it is labeled, and national monument read the glows due to maintenance work, at least part of constructing road. yes. we will be able to see the 1st part of this wonderful. the entire path is scheduled to be reopened in june, but perhaps be smarter than me and check before you get here. it was supposed to have reopened a long time ago. well, this is fortunes, bridge and nice to have a break and enjoy the beautiful scenery and the stream that is passing through here
9:52 am
it is also the place where the lineage back hiking trail is passing through. it's a 2 to 3 day hike through the limits, back nature reserve and i, it's a beautiful hike with rock pools along the way, as well as a nice camping spot where you can stay overnight. as i said, i just heard about it and it's still on my to do list. i still have to come back to do that. i actually in winter the high mountain peaks are sometimes kept with snow and in summer it gets extremely hot and dry. after the mist earlier, the sun, this burning highlight of this tour is installed along the whitter river that flows down here. so you just stop and make sure you're jumping into the crystal clear water. find one of the re a parking spots along here. make sure you park properly because the road is very narrow and then it's just like a 2 minutes hike down where you can refresh yourself, which is obviously amazing on a hot day like today. ah, my best idea today were certain,
9:53 am
if you bring along my swimming get more than 30 degrees on the bike, it can get really out with all the protective here. but now if you come down here, you forget about all of that. look at this wonderful views, the wonderful water that just wait for me to jump in. oh, i was one of the construction workers out there to sit down. you know what? i start wrapping up my bane's groove pass right on the way back. you can stop at one of the wine estates along the way, which i also open for visiting. i am heading to my favorite route friendship. it starts at the see what is give them. the largest lake in the region provide water for half of cape town. soon afterwards,
9:54 am
the known steep and dramatic scenery stops. it was south africa's food properly engineered roads. who's if you can try to come here during the week, though, it gets quite busy on weekend. ah, if you are lucky, you will come across some the voice along your way. 20 years ago, the cape an insolent boon population was heading to extinction. but luckily, that has changed the enjoy the time, watch them observe them, but remember they are wild animals. so be careful, they can be dangerous. sometimes they are snatching food, even bags and cameras to be very careful and please don't feed them. you can see that even installed special dustbins along the way, way you can throw your stuff and they have a boon protector. yes, so they can just open it. ah,
9:55 am
if you chance through the magnificent pass, you will reach another highlight. ah, from here you have this fantastic view on friendship. i could spend hours see less than 20000 people live down there. but it's still one of the most popular tourist destination in south africa, friendship means french corner and a free concert. this is exactly how it feels like down there. you have a little bit of friends. ah, i enjoyed the ride down from the mountains to the friendship valley home to some amazing restaurants and ah,
9:56 am
so we spent much more time than actually planned on the past because it's just so beautiful and it's so much fun to drive through these curvy roads. we got to town right on time for sundown, which we're having here right now at a smaller esther and in the city center. that's actually the major challenge when you get to friendship to decide where you want to go. there are so many wind poms and restaurants, it makes it very difficult to decide. so i had a really great time on these 3 different scenic routes. i hope you enjoyed it as well until next time jesus ah ah, ah, ah ah, ah, with
