Leeuwenkuil cottage. Pretty rocky de Lorenz St descends in the foreground. A simple long house with a thatched roof and a pergola’d stoep along the face. English pattern sash windows (later alterations to a vernacular building?) A Danish chap called Johan Christiaan Bresler obtained Leeuwenkuil in 1750 after being shipwrecked here. He must have been a wealthy man because within a few years he bought Leeuwenhof and is said by Fransen to have built the magnificent house that still stands there.

Fun Western Cape Fact: The Table Mountain Aerial Cableway is nearly a century old? Before then, the only way up the mountain was by foot and only the most adventurous—or foolhardy—had been to its summit. On 4 October 1929, after two years of difficult and dangerous work, the first Cable Car chugged its way to the top filled with excited and probably very nervous visitors. It’s been upgraded a number of times since, and today the trip to the top is smooth sailing.
