Day 118 Hout Bay

Finally ran out of excuses and managed to go for a run!  As this was only my third run in four months and the first since Malawi, I was really pleased to manage 30 minutes and actually felt surprisingly good by the end (Greg and Ian were still in bed asleep!).

After yesterday’s experience with Cape Town weekend holiday traffic we decided to avoid driving and stuck around Hout Bay.  We wandered around the curio market before having a lovely lunch in the Fisherman’s Wharf Restaurant washed down by some delicious South African wine.  After lunch Greg and Ian disappeared for a couple of hours to La Cabane to play pool.  They are not at all competitive!!  Ian had won yesterday so they had to have a rematch and this time Greg managed to win – I can see another rematch on the cards!


One of our challenges for the trip had been to swim in both the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean.  The Indian Ocean had been beautifully warm back in Tanzania.  The Atlantic is freezing and so far we had only managed to dip our toes but today we finally plucked up courage and plunged in.
