Early start. Lots to do. We drove straight back to cape town and flounder the car place where, I have to say, they were excellent! (surprise!) and within 20 minutes had us in a new car and off! We drove an hour out to a place called Malmesbury where we found a home office open on the Saturday and spent the morning queuing. I say next to this tiny smelly girl who wasn't filling in her forms. I offered her a pen but she declined and Garth told me she probably cou...

Worst day. We were woken up by the pneumatic drill again. Garth saw that Table Mountain was open so we rushed out with no packed lunch. We got there and the queue was long so Garth told me to get out and join the queue while he parked. Because I was rushed I forgot my jumper! Because Garth rushed he forgot the water. So the next few hours were rather cold and dehydrated... We queued for 1 hour to get the cable car up. The carriages have a rotating floor so t...

We were woken up by a pneumatic drill above our heads..... We went to The Cape of Good Hope. We spent 5 hours driving around the park. In the car park the very silly Afrikans lady next to us opened her door and let the wind smash it into our car. There was no dent/scratch but the woman was a silly one indeed and seemed very offended by us! We got the train up to the high point and it was sooooo windy that people were getting blown over - literally. It's the stro...

We left at 10am and what an amazing view Neil has of Fish Hoek, the beach and the mountains!!!!! Garth drove me through the hills to Table Mountain, where we were unable to go up in the cable car due to high winds but even the view from there was pretty breathtaking! We drove round to Signal Hill to see Robben Island and ate our tuna sandwich packed lunch there! We drove through Camps bay and Hougt bay. I saw Garths old church, restaurant where he worked and ...

We were woken at 9am with two ladies bringing in our ample breakfast of porridge, juice, coffee, toast, eggs, bacon and yoghurt!!! We enjoyed this on our room balcony with a lovely view over the bay to Knysna heads in our soft fluffy dressing gowns. We had left by 10 and made our way into the hills and eventually found the Smiths wood cabin. It was just beautiful, surrounded by thick Forrest with views over Knysna! I met Neil and Shelly and their kids. Also the...
