Gordons Bay – My Hometown

September 28, 2010 | Filed Under Family 

With the recent Challenge at DSA for the Established Designer Contest I had to create a kit that showcases my home town. Well although I do live in Napa, CA and it is very beautiful here my heart still yearns for home – Gordons Bay. Also most of my family also lives there so there is more than enough reasons for me to miss it so much!

So I decided to share some pictures of the Town and Surroundings. These were the last photos I took before we left in 2008…so very Nostalgic to me.

Chrismari is ready for the beach…sunglasses in hand!

View towards the Naval Base and Old Harbor. Simons Town is far in the distance.

View Towards the Old Town and Shopping Center…lots of Restaurants and Shell Shops. Great place to go for a stroll.

Harbor Island in the Distance.

Footprints…aaah I so miss these moments!

Park Bench overlooking the sea.

More of the old town…

Kitty and the Penguins…look how tiny she was here! Only 3 years old…man oh man, where has the time gone?

View from the Main Beach…if you look closely you will see ‘Moeder Maria’ i.e. Mother Maria. It is the back of Table Mountain aptly named after Jan Van Riebeeck our founding father’s wife.

Beautiful NG Church..lots of Weddings are held here in these scenic surroundings.

Last one of the old town and the Majestic Hottentots Holland Mountains in the background.

Need I say more? I hope you enjoyed these pictures. It did my heart good to share it. Thank you for stopping by!
