Canal Walk Century City

Yesterday we went to Canal Walk and decided to take a walk right around the canal. WOW! It's the first time we've done that walk (all the way down to Intaka Island and back) and I was stunned at how beautiful it is. I bet that most Capetonians not only don't know this walk exists, but have never done it. If you're one of those, it is definitely worth doing.

This is the view from Knightsbridge (an exclusive apartment block) towards Canal Walk.
This waterfall is half underneath the bridge that leads to Knightsbridge.

All along the walk there are little alcoves, or benches, for stopping and resting. This one was particularly pretty.
A sign of hope? The canal has several Egpytian geese around, many with goslings. At the other end of the canal from Knightsbridge they are busy building a new suspension bridge and the pool in front of whatever building is there (hotel??) has been drained (or not yet filled?) but the duck/ goose ladder is still there. It seemed like such a sign of hope to me - planning for things to come.
