Weather for Ducks


I've been away for what seems to be a life time. Some of it because of computer gremlins but happily also the winter holidays - which not surprisingly started and ended the same way...WET.


For all the water we've had some great times. First up to the West Coast and then the Citrusdal area. One of the best treats when you get to Lambertsbaai is a meal and the at the Muisbosskerm. Find out more here. An open air restaurant that specialises in local seafood and homemade breads, jams and coffee on the fire. Everything is baked, grilled and simmered out in the open, under your nose and right on the beach and it is truly a 'wow' experience - even in the rain.


After that; this was the brightest thing I saw on my walks.


On to Citrusdal and the mountains, where the rain just kept on coming.


This road collapsed the night we left (this picture was frontpage news of Die Burger). Close call!


And back to Cape Town - more of the same. This is the Rietvlei, a bird sanctuary across the road from me. Note the windsock for the local model plane enthusiasts:)

What a lovely holiday - and the restarant sounds like something that has to go on my places-I-would-like-to-visit list!
