Good Morning!! After days of waking up at 2am, it's hard to sleep
in. So I'm off, cheerfully to work, after a good 12-hour shut down
last night :-) |

I thought I should check this out...promises good views. |

First stop didn't have a fabulous view, but it should be much lovelier
at night. |

Today will be pretty much a driving tour as I have hardly any time
in between lots of errands and catching up at work after being away
for days for the low tide trips :-) |

Of course the main thing at the top of the hill is the cable car station.
But being terrified of heights, this sort of thing doesn't quite appeal
to me :-) |

I chance upon this little entreprise: dressing up tourists in our
local costumes. I think it's very charming. |

...and so do the tourists it appears. Everyone looks so lady-like
and sexy in a sari. |

The manicured hillsides lead up to very thick secondary forest. The
NParks website says these secondary forest has been left untouched
to stabilise the hillslopes, a wonderful idea. |

There ARE lots of lovely lookout points...but very few parking places...so
have to hop out of car, snap this and jump back in before I get run
down by the next giant tour bus that roars up and down the steep roads.

Another thing that struck me was the large number of big trees in
the park. Alas, no time to take a closer look.. |

There were lots of little paths leading into the thick secondary forest
that cloaked the sides of the hills. Looked very intriguing... |

Lots of ferns and all kinds of other plants. I could hear birds too.

Another mysterious path that begs exploration... |

13:01 Mount Faber Park #13 (last):
As I leave, I admire too the lovely houses that are secretively tucked
away in corners amongst the greenery...certainly worth finding out
more about the history and surrounds of this marvelous park. Alas,
time has run out and I've got to go back to work... |
