Whales, wine and wonderful Cape Town

---

Penguins, whales, seals, baboons - we have had the privilege of seeing them all. The baboon was a bit unexpected as we pulled into a viewpoint, Madge said she would stay in the minibus then got out and a baboon got in through a half open window and had to be chased out (not by us) but it took our lovely bread bought especially to go with our cheese, pâté and ham. All part of the South African experience. Hermanus was a brilliant spot for lunch right on the foreshore with whale sighting although none of us got very good photos - you can't do wine, food and whale spotting! Wine tasting yesterday and today but none actually purchased but no worries the local importer is in West Grinstead (West Sussex) so Eileen will be paying him a visit. Tapas in fabulous place tonight having done the catwalk from Muizeburg to Kalk Bay earlier. Retail therapy for the girls today as lovely shops in trendy, arty Kalk Bay. Eileen has to buy another suitcase before she can fly home! Looking forward to another Apple store tomorrow then back to Jo'burg where we shall meet up with Bill and Linda (number 5) before off to Kruger for safaris
