An early start this morning after a heated discussion with a lady who had lifted my wine out of the communal fridge last night. I followed a Rough Guide suggestion and drove to Cape Point via Chapman's Peak, a toll road but well worth the charge.
Cape point is in a reserve and it showed, I saw ostrich, hyrax (like oversize guinea-pigs) and quite worryingly baboons that I didn't see until they popped out to inspect a litter bin for food just as I was walking past but they ignored me completely which was nice. The views when I got to the lighthouse were worth the trip but the high winds were something else, two reefs at least.
My return trip took me via boulders beach, famous for its penguins but I didn't need to go there as they came over to say hello at the cafe where I was having my lunch. Got back to town in time for a Castle lager and a spot of people watching in Greenmarket Square.
My steak and chips restaurant was booked so I went to Mama Africa's, local band which lit up when the horn section kicked in, great staff, huge amounts of fantastic local recipe food, snook pate followed by a Zimbabwe chicken dish called Dovi but an excellent white wine was spoiled by being served at room temperature, can I complain for a night out for about £30, probably not but I will anyway.
