We flew from London on
a British Airways jumbo to Cape Town. It was a good flight,
and we enjoyed the new flat bed seats for the first time,
which meant we actually managed to sleep for a few hours,
so the journey passed quickly. Whether this was due to the
beds or the wine that was served with the dinner, we shall
never know. |
|
We hired a car... |
|
|
...and drove to Bruce's
old school friend Graham, with whom we were staying. |
|
|
He has a lovely house, full
of antiques and with a brand-new pool in the garden which
Geoff tried later that afternoon. |
|
|
|
That afternoon, we drove
down to the Waterfront to wander around this beautiful and
vibrant area, and have yet more photographs of us and Table
Mountain. |
|
|
|
|
That evening, Graham had
booked us into the restaurant at Constantia
Uitsig for our evening meal. The food was very good
indeed. |
|
The following morning, we
managed to find room for the splendid breakfast which Graham
served us on the stoep. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
We then drove to Franschoek,
where we wandered around the antique shops and visited the
Hugenot memorial. |
|
|
Graham had booked lunch
at La Petite Ferme - an excellent restaurant where we had
the best seats on the verandah. The views were spectacular. |

|
We were joined for coffee
by the adjoining vineyard's resident cat. |
