Well apart from washing that is.
Well I haven't got round to writing a post yet so thought I was in need of posting what I've been up to before I forget! So let's start with Sunday, we went down to a bar in Camps bay to watch the sun set. Very nice bar, 16 Rand for a beer and Greame Smith, Mark Boucher and Jaques Callis sat at the table next to us! No fans around asking for autographs, no paparazzi, they were just allowed to sit there and have a drink without being bothered. Can't imagine that happening in England!
Monday was the second attempt to go go Robben island. We bought our tickets only for the trip to be cancelled due to high winds. I'm starting to think that it just wasn't meant to be. We went out to a restaurant called Mamma Africa's in the evening, one Englishman, 3 Americans, 1 Canadian, 1 Irish, 2 Icelanders, 1 Brazilian, and 1 Izraelie. Quite a mix of nations. I shared a platter of ostrich, crocodile, kudu, springbok, and venison, with Jenny the Irish girl. I can definitely recommend the ostrich and springbok. The crockodile was a bit odd and similar to monkfish and the kudu I didn't like at all, tasted like liver!
Yesterday we hired a car and I drove a few of us down to the cape of good hope seeing stunning view after stunning view all the way down there. If we had stopped to take pictures of every view I think the trip would have taken weeks! We also got to see penguins and ostriches grazing at the side of the road. Some people also got to see a whale, but unfortunately I missed it :-(.
Well it looks as if a few of us are going to head off down the garden route tomorrow. Not sure where we are going or what we are going to see, Jenny just asked a couple of us if we wanted to tag along and I thought why not! Anyway time to go, it's quite challenging trying to type this post on the iPhone! Hopefully I'll get round to adding some pictures shortly.
What's the garden route? You saw penguins and ostriches together? Didn't know you found penguins in South Africa. Your blog is really quite educational :) xxx
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're having a whale of a time. Long may it continue

Not many fellows got a Mum called Michael!!! Don't suppose there's any point asking you to bring me any wine fron Stellenbosch; just drink my share. Hope none of my neighbours are hacking into this blog or we will be drummed out of the boulangerie.
ReplyDeleteNana recieved you card and was thrilled.
