The big advantage Lion’s Head has are that there are few tourists and, of course, you can see the Table Mountain ;-)
With less than seven days left it was time again to visit Lion’s Head. We planned to see the sunset once more from the top. This time we started directly from the bottom and went up the whole way. Not to mention that we also went the whole way down in the dark. We, that were Daniela, Michael, Israel and me. For our convenience we had some red wine with to celebrate.

Paternosta was advertised as tourist interesting because of the
