Cape Town is, and always will be, a special place for me. It's the only place, outside of Italy, where I feel I could easily relocate to!

This past weekend, the Princess and I flew down there to attend the wedding of a dear friend. It was, for him, and his bride, their second wedding, and well deserved too. I'm not sure what the story is with the brides first round, but my friends wife passed away some years ago after a long illness. He loved and cared for her right to her end, and none is more deserving of a second chance than he is. And what a grat couple they make. Congratulations to you both!

Spotted outside a craft shop. Very ingenious work done to this bike!
Sunset, and the 400 meter wide beach at Noordhoek.
Breakfast at the Brass Bell. Google it - very famous restaurant / bar, on the beach in KalkBay!
Our rental - A KIA Picanto - probably an 1100 - with radio and aircon. Ran ok. Just very, very small.
Another beach sunset
Lundudno - the home to the rich and famous. People have been know to pay millions of Rands (5-10) for a home there, only to pull it down and build their own monstrosity, bigger and better!!!Whilst we were down there we also had the pleasure of meeting up with some old frinds from Gauteng. DMDad and his spouse met us for brunch on Saturday, followed by a walk on the beach, and then beers at a beach pub. Sunday we went around to their place for a sandwidch and coffee, whilst they were preparing for a Show House. Great guys - so hospitable!
And they are in a damn fine area, in a damn fine house (DMDad says it's overpriced.Mmmmm maybe at current rates)
Anyway, thanks guys for having us around, and being with us. Hope we can do the same for you sometime, and hope to be back there again soon.

Bro...you know you guys are always welcome. Just give us a shout from Jan Smuts saying "we're on our way" and we'll have the guest room ready by the time you touch down in Cape Town.....take care...great to see you both again.
Brass Bell looks fantastic - but when they serve a bacon sandwich does it have the same 16 slices of bacon in it as the News Cafe at Rivonia.......with DMD - what a day!!
wish i was there with you all

If they can only get rid of the Doctor! Then I would have moved there without thinking.
