We left Monte Bello in Windhoek at 7.15am for the airport. Our flight to Cape Town was at 9.20am. The airports about 40km out of town, looking for a flat place for an airport!
We arrived in CT at 11.20 am, good flight in a small 44 seater jet, bit bumpy landing! Long, long queues for passport control, but it meant we chatted to a man who had been president of Namibian rugby until recently. By his size, obviously a rugby player! Picked up our hire car and hot footed it to Hout Bay. Our studio apartment is great. Spacious, great views over the sea, huge balcony with plunge pool. A little too cold for us, but great in warmer weather! CT is about 20/22, a bit cool after being in 38/40 for the past four weeks!
We shopped in the local mall, by the beach for a bit of breakfast food, and wandered around the port. After looking at the menu we decided to book the Warfside Grill for supper. We’re just back from there. We had a bottle of La Motte, a favourite of the Butt/Harris/Kelly days here, with a huge seafood platter of prawns, calamari, mussels and line fish on a bed of savoury rice and smothered in lemon butter with peri peri on the side. Delicious and totally stuffed! Cost about £25 for two! for the fish, £12 for the La Motte.
Now back at the apartment to get some sleep!
