The Twelve Apostles

You follow a magnificently tarred new road that winds with the mountain for about 10 minutes until you reach "The Twelve Apostles",which is a series of 12 peaks/outcrops on the mountain. These are shown clearly from the shot taken from this passenger liner. Camps bay is to the left of the picture.


Open your window on the drive to smell the refreshing sea breeze.


You will see the Twelve Apostles Hotel on the side of the road, positioned to have glorious views over the ocean. The sun sets on this side of the ocean providing for spectacular sunset drinks or dinners from the hotel. The hotel is popular with honeymooners as it provides luxurious accomodation too. There is a cocktail bar which is highly recommended for sundowners. You can see three of the Twelve Apostles in the backdrop.


Just past the hotel are many little rocky coves used by divers to fish out crayfish (lobster) from the kelp (seaweed). You will see the divers parked on the side of the road in long rowson a nice day. You can see Camps Bay jutting out the water in the distance.


If you bother to stop and park with the string of divers' cars you will see them working up a sweat climbing up and down the small cliff from the road to the sea.
