It’s sunny with clouds, cool an big winds today At 10am I empty the fridge of most of what’s left and we drive up the north shore with great views back of Table Mountain, to a huge beat and affluent suburbia. We get a bit lost trying to find the Secret Garden Guest House but are charmed when we find it is an interesting multi tier B&B with fascinating small gardens linked with pathways hidden in this nice suburban development.
Our good old friends Dave & Sylvia French’s lovely daughter Helen has come for a wedding with her husband Andy and 7 year old daughter Annelise. Their best man from Norwich is getting married in his original home here in Cape Town and by chance, his parents run this guesat house. So 11 people have come over together for the wedding and are enjoying their home from home north of the big city.
We take off for the day to the lively and fascinating V&A waterfront area and introduce them to some of our favourite places there. We stop off for an outdoor lunch but it is cold in the wind and shade, and we don’t linger. We take the little water ferry to and from the waterfront, which leaves conveniently from outside our apartment.
It’s great they have a kitchen to look after themselves beasue we have far too much food left over and happily donate it to them a we leave.
Back to town e are fortunately going the opposite way tot he rush hour traffic.
Something I ate today did’t agree with me. After it all came back out, I skipped supper, ate some yogurt drank lots of water and hope the pills will see me through the 34+ hour trip home tomorrow! Poor Ted snacked on fridge remains - not so bad really ham/melon, cheese, franks and champagne!With a somewhat uneasy truce in my gut, I had a good night’s sleep ready for the mammoth flights next day.
