Somerset West/Cape Town

26 October – 31 October

Things we did in Cape Town:
1)   Climbed Table Mountain and then wandered about feeling infinitely superior to the other tourists that had taken the cable car up.  Tutted loudly at their inappropriate clothing for a mountaintop.

2)   Joined the tourist throng at Cape Point., this time tutting loudly every time the traffic stopped for someone to take pics of baboons.  Winced at a fellow plunging straight into bluebottle filled water.   Checked out ostriches on the beach.

3)   Got spoilt in a lovely guesthouse in Kalk Bay and watched the seals playing in the harbour.  Tutted a little at the wedding taking place at the end of the harbour, just past where the fishermen were gutting their fish.

4)   Paddled with the penguins at Boulders Beach.  I’m sure we tutted, but can’t remember what about now.

5)   Worried that rocks would crush us on Chapman’s Peak.

6)   Went to the scratch patch!  I had a ball, but probably best not to mention scratch patch to Nick ever again.

7)   Had a family braai, caught up with old friends and lazed by the pool enjoying the sunshine.


Off to Perth in the morning!

Janet adds: Had a great time, but South Africa is definitely off the list of places to live.
