Today was our first day in South Africa. We woke up around 7am, me refreshed from my melatonin supplement, C suffering from a lack of sleeping as a direct result of NOT supplementing melatonin. Amy cooked us some banana bread while we snacked on homemade granola and greek yogurt. There was coffee. Delicious steaming black coffee! There was also Sunshine, and a pool, and blue skies, and it was 85. Not a bad start. The view of Camp's Bay and the lions head are amazing from up here on the back side of table mountain. We are in a fabulous location. The house layout is open with patio spaces and sliding doors to let in the fresh ocean breeze.
We toured the open air trinket market in Green Market square today. We scoped out where we will most likely be buying gifts for our friends before leaving. There was an assortment of carved wood in various animal shapes, belts, bowls and all sorts of high quality hand crafted stuff. Lots of beads and jewelry, quite creative and all of it appealing to the eye. We walked along the beach at Camp's bay, had a few beers before catching sushi at "Beluga" for Lunch. From there we made our way home and relaxed for a few hours, booked our dirt bike tour for tomorrow.
We tried to do a Sunset sail on a large catamaran, but we got 5 minutes out and a very thick pea soup fog descended cold and impenetrable, so the boat turned around and we came home for a refund. We had a few quick steaks and we're back at the house.
I'm really looking forward to our 6 hour dirtbike excursion tomorrow, and diving on friday. Amy, Christie, Rob and his two room mates are all here having a beer at the dining room table. I'm going to sign out and join the conversation, but I suspect the day will soon be coming to an end !
