Hout Bay 11 th- 12th March

11 March

Made it here safe and sound,  The flight was comfortable but didn't get a huge amount of sleep but seats were good and the 11 hours went quickly,  I watched the Descendants and Mad Crazy Love which was a perfect Plane Movie

We landed at 6:30 and  were first at the Avis desk and in the  hire car at 7:10. Being the 1st  big plane in makes it easy.

The weather is gorgeous.




We drove to Nenya our B&B  in Hout Bay which is home for the next two nights  I really  like the Guest House we have lovely big room with mountain views.

Spent most of the first day relaxing and sleeping -taking things easy and recovering from the journey - which I surprised myself how well I coped with and I recovered from quite quickly.

Neil with Lynette

Lynette is a great host and so many funny stories to tell. Neil came to stay here last year when he came to SA on his own for a few days R&R. Lynette welcomed him back as if he were a long lost friend and made me feel really welcome. I had heard so much about her I was so pleased to meet her at last and of course her lovely chocolate lab Coco.

12th March


I am so blown away by the view- I lingered over my breakfast as I could not help loving this beautiful scenery.

I wandered around the garden where there is this lovely Buddha.

Yummy carrot cake!

The day went quickly - we went into Cape Town but as we had been here before we did not need to do the sights instead went into Waterkant district to do some shopping and a light lunch.

















We passed beautiful Llandudno - nothing like the one in North Wales. One day I will rent a house with a view of this bay!

Tomorrow we are off to Knysna - a 6 hour car trip!
