So the show moved on and a relatively early start was had. Robyn went for an hour run (HoeHaa Ironmaiden) and did some long overdue quiet time. We had a filling breakfast at our overnight accommodation, Inyathi Lodge. Today's destination was the Mother city, Cape Town. But before we would get there our navigator would take us on some detours. We saw places like Victoria Bay (my favourite for the day), Herolds Bay, this bay & that bay. Had good old fish & chips for lunch in Mossel Bay. (must confess this was the best calamari I have ever had) Back on the long road, with a petrol stop in Swellendam, where the locals told me that all that happens there is that it is HOT!
Next stop was, and we could not have missed out on that one, Cape Agulhas, the southern most tip of the beautiful African continent. Finally I am able to say I have been at this tip and have seen where the Indian and the Atlantic Oceans meet up. Was truly amazing. Must admit we almost blew back into the ocean with the winds that was there. Struisbaai, I must confess was a cool small holiday & fishing town.
Anyway, from there it was a journey to Somerset West where we were staying with Rob's german varsity friend, Tanya. By now we were tired of driving, and could not wait to get there. Well after travelling through beautiful farms lands and going over Sir Lowrey's Pass we found Somerset and the house we were staying in. What we did not expect was the stunning house and particularly the view. From the pool deck we could see Gordon's Bay & Cape point.
We decided then to go the next day to see Cape Point. What an beautiful trip all along the coast line. Got to see small famous cape towns such as Muizemburg, Fish Hoek and Simons Town. Have a look at thje previous post I did from Cape point.
We headed back and spent the afternoon in the pool looking over the swimming pools edge at Someset & Strand. We went and had an scrumptious supper of seafood at the small bay in Gordon's Bay.
Yesterday morning we decided to go for a drive through Stellenbosch to Fraschoek, the winelands community. Was a stunning drive through the vineyards and we made it to visit one of Robyn's first client, Cyril and his wife, who now own a 3.5ha wine farm. The gave us the tour of the houses and it was good to catch up. We headed back and had abit to eat before we moved on our road trip to Bergvliet, where we will be staying with Clive & Diane (robyn's best friend & bridesmaid) for few nights.
Was good to catch up with them over supper. So the Christmas balls journey continues. Onward we go!
