My journal, my camera, and serenity; ingredients for a happy me. I wrote an unfinished poem up there (as a lot of them end up to be). That's Table Mountain in the distance, and I'm laying on top of Devil's Peak. It was really windy, so I found a little grassy nook in between some rocks, and just enjoyed the view.

This... this was one of the more beautiful moments in my life. When the moon's full in Cape Town, a lot of people like to hike Lion's Head and watch the sun set over the Atlantic, and the full moon rise opposite. I decided to hike Devil's Peak, which is 4 times as long, and I was the only one up there! A mountaintop all to myself. I was up there for hours and hours, watching the clouds roll over me, and when the sun was setting the clouds around me were glowing orange, as if I were alive in a fire. I was imagining all of the people in the city below me rushing aimlessly from point A to point B, wondering why so many can't enjoy true beauty. This was my second last night in CT, and the end of my adventure there... until next time.

There is such a large contrast between poverty and luxury in Cape Town. This was right beside downtown, just behind some colourful houses in Bo-Kaap.
