We have just borrowed Fiona’s mini card as there are problems with Wi-Fi so we’ll do a quick update.
Our last day in Johannesburg we went and saw Granny for the last time in the morning and left her in very good spirits with Jill having reminisced over old times and her showing her memory is in good condition. The rest of the day was spent relaxing, packing and organizing the car collection etc.
The next day we left Eagles Nest at 10 am and headed to the airport where we ultimately caught a plane for Cape Town. Fiona and Stewart were there to greet us after an uneventful trip.
Since our arrival there has been much laughter discussing old times with the Govans and Joan and Hugh who live very close by. We have spent a lot of time going through Granny’s albums retrieving family photos to bring home.
Today we did a tour of the Cape Town Waterfront development which was even more interesting because we had Stewart showing us around and he had spent a lot of his naval time here and had a very good knowledge of the place. We had lunch at a very old restaurant near the docks together with Joan which was very nice and tasted the local fish and chips.
We are booked to visit Robben Island on Sunday with Hugh and Joan so we hope the weather will be calm for the ferry ride.

As you can see we haven’t seen a lot of it yet
