We've settled in our final home for this trip, off now for our first wine tasting. Then we find our about our spa treatments before dinner and tomorrow we check out the world's biggest hedge maze, we plan to get at least partially lost inside with a bottle of the estate's finest. Bliss. We're at www.rosendalwinery.co.za go on, get jealous! X x x x x x
Here we see the lesser stressed tbf. Less common than his super stressed alter ego, the lesser stressed tbf can be found enjoying veggie breakfasts, little lie ins and thinks 'you know what? A little rain today in really nice.' Awesome. X k
Today we're mostly relaxing, we took a walk down to the Victoria and Albert waterfront and are lazing in Paulner Brauhaus drinking their brewed on site pilsner. Cape Town is especially wonderful because no matter if you are in a Cuban bar drinking jugs of mojitos, In a german car drinking pils or in a Closa bar drinking big bottles of castle, every place is touched with Africa and yet feels so like home too. I love this place. Tomorrow it's back on the tourist trail up table mountain... The only down side of the trip so far, the tours of robben island are booked up weeks in advance. Next time. And there will be a next time.
Me jumping off storm river bridge. Better photos soon x k
If only i could pop one in my suit case! Penguins are one of those wonderful ronseal animals, they do exactly what it says on the tin. Looks cute, has fluffy feathers when young and makes you want one. Or two. Or three. Just in case you lost one.
There is something about sitting up till eleven, believing that is late, discussing American politics with a Foreign Currency Trader, a musician and a nanny, which makes you realise that people are generally good, generally funny and generally will listen. Tonight we are ending the night to a cup of tea listening to the crickets chirrup and our yawns punctuate the South African night sky. Good night until tomorrow x k
And how wonderful it is! We're staying in this cottage on a farm by a lake high in the mountains. We're IN the clouds! So beautiful, the only noises are the birds singing and the drip drop of rain on our metal roof. Back to the sun tomorrow-off to see the jack-ass penguins, if I don't see at least a 360 or meet steve-o i'm demanding my money back ;-) arriving back in cape town for the weekend tomorrow evening. More then x x x k
First they after leaving the hotel. Amazing. Twenty four hours travel with about four hours snatched sleep and this... Sights like this banish tiredness as surely as it was never there. Cape town we love you already. X Mr and Mrs
