Other pleasures


What a beautiful weekend! It does not matter where or when you are in the Cape or South Africa, one just can not ignore the fact that we live in such an amazingly gorgeous country despite the more controversial problems we experience. My good friend Jason Louw and his wife invited us last minute and boy am i glad i did.

This weekend we spent camping on the Breede rivier at a place called River Zicht. No reason for the get away other than to get away and experience life away from the coast. Where we were was very close to Route 62 where all the wine farms are.

This time of the year is a little chili but thank goodness for electric blankets, although we are going into winter, it did mean that it would quite and peaceful. Our bush camp was right on the waters edge which was so amazing waking up to first thing. Sunday morning there was a light mist which added to the already peaceful serenity. Fishing was the highlight of our day although we weren't catching a thing not getting even a bite but we all know it was not about catching the biggest fish. All in all a great weekend with friends family and close ones made for a great weekend that everybody enjoyed.

I love this part of the world so much to see and do.
