Welcome Glen to Fish Hoek, via Elsies Peak

This walk took us just under 2 hours to complete. We walked from Welcome Glen over to Glencairn Heights. From the top we headed into the mountain to Elsies Peak.

From there we followed the Ravine Steps path down into Fish Hoek. Nipped down between steep stairs all the way down to the valley, where I had earlier left my car.



This was quite a nice hike - next time around Marco wants to do the reverse; start in FH and end in Welcome Glen. It seems as though that will be way steeper (I seem to recall a lot of downhill on this one!).

After the hike we got some Indian take aways from the new restaurant that has opened on Fish Hoek main road (Bihara). Let me just say that their food is divine! 

When we got home, we realised that they'd forgot to add the rice to our take-away. Exhausted and hungry after our hike I called them up and within 15 mins they had driven out to our house with not only the missing rice,  but included some veggie rolls as a bonus - thanks for the effort! Great food and great service!
