Today’s post has a few photos from when I was away and a few photos from today. Yesterday, Catherine and Tracy went to Kirstenbosch to walk above the tree canopy. From the gardens, Catherine could see Skeleton Gorge. She climbed a big tree.
I took a large 747 from London to Cape Town direct, departing yesterday and arriving this morning. The sunrise over the Western Cape was striking for its reflection off the surface of the ocean. I got a nice welcome home. Local elections are coming, and Tracy posed beneath an ANC banner at the airport.
For lunch, we went to Middlevlei winery for a boerebraai, accompanied by a pair of huge dogs, Merlot and Alsace. For dinner, we visited good friends Amanda and Louis.
