Spent the morning in Kirstenbosch – what a beautiful part of the world and well deserved to be a world heritage site. Left camera and phone at home so no photo’s to accompany this post but will haul one out of the archives:
Yes, the sunshine in this photo (taken in Novemberish last year) reflects the sunshine we experienced today – in August – the so-called middle of winter for Cape Town. Really can’t complain about Cape Town winters can I, and no sign of rain for at least as long as my Weatherbug App forecasts (7 days I think).
Once again the day was spent with some great friends – in fact the same great friends as last night and the same great friends we will be partying away with this evening. Lets hope they don’t get bored of us as it is friends keeping us here in Cape Town and not venturing to Gauteng in search of employment. Izzie and Gugs had a great time climbing tree’s, chasing Guinea Fowl and generally abusing the fauna of Kirstenbosch – thanks to Paul for being Mr Explorer and taking kids into the rarely seen area’s of the gardens in search of the lesser spotted fauna. No luck in spotting frogs, porcupines or otters but the kids nonetheless felt what it was like to be Dora the Explorer.
And tonight it is off for an equally rare experience for the adults in the Cochrane family – a party. Lets see how we handle it – it could get messy as we have no idea how to take our alcohol anymore or equally we may leave after an hour suffering party fatigue. Will let you know.
ArioS Cape Town 
I’m delighted to get a mention. It was a great morning and I really enjoyed Izzie’s adventurous spirit.
Seems like I’m surrounded by bloggers. No bad thing I think.
