Sun cloud and 27. It’s like a winding record. But great. Although e read Calgary is finally warming up and our morning temps here are something like Calgary’s high for the day - 13.
We resist a large breakfast as we are booked to return to the fabulous Lanzerac Manor House restaurant for their weekly Sunday lunch today. I finally wear the one dress I brought with me!
We say a sad goodbye to Shantall who has done our washing and sent us off with hugs and clean clothes too! We feel like one of the family here. And she has become our good friend in a very short space of time. We will not forget her warm and friendly care here.
First we return to Fairview to buy about 9 of their wonderful cheeses, great bread and apple galette.
We arrive at Lanzerac by 12:45 to enjoy a walk in the garden before our reservation at 1pm. Sadly the dining room is very empty. I wonder when they are full? We get the same attentive waitress and are amazed at the presentation of every plate here. I have a glass of their MCC (bubbly like champagne) then Shiraz. Ted has the CB. WE savor lamb stuffed mushrooms with sunroom dust! butternut squash soup, pork belly (Ted) and lamb (me), Creme Brûlée and Tiramisu. We finally stagger up a 3:30pm.
It’s an easy one hour drive back up to Cape Town although we miss the quick turn into our area the first time and have a 2km drive to make a second run at it.
It’s great to return to hour Home from Home, and we have a lovely executive serviced apartment on the 5th floor over the canal. I am not hungry but Ted tackles some cheese and bread later and a Kanonkop Rose. I had tea! I finish my book and download another from Calgary Library, the 4th on this trip. I still want to read Michener’s The Covenant about South Africa but I’m still not he waitlist.
