First Weekend

Beach!

Meal at Dunes thanks to Grandma and Grandad Goody
Well our first weekend has past and we were very busy.

The weather has been amazing (yeah just thought id rub it in). We talking 25-30 degrees with a slight breeze and not a single cloud in the sky.

Saturday we went to a bird sanctuary called "WORLD OF BIRDS" which has an amazing array birds and also funnily enough some monkeys. A lot of the Avery's were walk through so you could get quite close to them. There was a moment when one of the cape hawks flew across the Avery and launched a carcass at me (MARK) which sent nay scurrying across to the exit.

Sunday we went to the Vineyard church in Cape Town with Nicky from Ikhaya. The people there were very welcoming and it was quite similar to our church back home. Its good to see the worship PowerPoint bouncing around as they tried to keep up with the singers and the usual chaos at the beginning of trying to get people to sit down. (well it made me chuckle).

After we got back from church we walked to the beach and had lunch at a lovely restaurant called DUNES were we tried some BOK (small deer), Fish and some of the local cape wine which was lovely.

We have meet quite a lot of nice people already and can see why this is such a lovely place.

stay tuned fro more updates through the week.

  1. It is just so weird to see you there in Hout Bay, but so lovely too. Even stranger that you are staying our old house, Valley House on Valley Road. So happy you can experience this home that is invaluable to our family and see a place Joe loved so much. Sad I can't be there with you to experience part of it with you.
    Love you guys xx
