Wow, I can't believe it is March already. Last month, we spent an extended weekend in beautiful Cape Town. We felt that having lived here already more than two years, we still hadn't visited Mother City properly.
Table Mountain was first on our list, but unfortunately there was a strong wind and the cable car was closed. Well, no match for us, we decided to hike. And quite a strenuous hike it was, two hours straight up with big boulders to climb, no shade but breath-taking views over the ocean! Luckily the cable car was functioning on our way back down.
Next day we drove to Franschhoek and visited the car museum, which had been on Knut's list a long time. Amazing collection of cars! After that we had booked a lovely picnic lunch at Boschendahl winery. Before collecting our picnic basket we tasted a few wines in order to choose our preferred lunch wine. Seated in the garden under oak trees, enjoying cheese, salads and patés, life could be worse…

The guest house we stayed in was centrally located, which meant we had a short drive everywhere. On Valentine's day we decided to have breakfast in Camps Bay. We found a lovely café by the beach, where we could enjoy the sea view while eating. In the afternoon we went to Waterfront and had a late fish and seafood lunch. S was not feeling well and had to rest in the guesthouse.

On our last day we went again to Camps Bay for breakfast, so that S could also enjoy it. Some shopping and then on the plane back home to Joburg.
