lion's head at full moon

Chilled out at Clifton Beach #4 for the first time. Each of the Clifton beaches have their own character, i.e. #4 is the most beautiful but also the most famous and therefore crowded, #3 is known to be populated by gay men, and #2 is the model beach (don’t know what #1 is supposed to be like). Water was freezing but it was such a hot day that I was able to dip in a few times.

Then hiked Lion’s Head with Anna. It was a full moon so it was super crowded; there were lines of people walking up and then down. But we found a quiet spot amid the masses. To the left we watched the moonrise over the city with a purple sky, and to the right we watched the sunset over the water with an orange and pink sky. As we walked down the mountain—with only the moon to light our way—the sky darkened to black and was spotted with stars, and the city lights gradually flickered on and came to life. Breathtaking experience.
