New Year's eve in Cape Town

Hi Folks,

Happy New Year all.

We're in Cape Town and celebrated our new year on the waterfront, with beautiful food, fireworks and half the rest of South Africa.

Lots of fun in Cape Town - highlights so far:

  • Having a shower in the room, plus ensuite toilet - LUXURY!!!
  • Tour down to the Cape peninsular and cycling through the national park, stopping by the ostrich family with 9 chicks, who were a it watchful but not aggressive - fortunately!

Wineries tour was fun however disappointing in that we only did 3 wineries, could have done a few more. Stellenbosch and surrounds stunning. Driving past Wellington, SA was a touch nostalgic too!

Hope everyone is well, we are here for two more days then on to Sydney. Finally, OUT OF AFRICA - wish us luck in Aussie customs getting our potentially Foot and Mouth soiled footware into Oz...

Cheers,
Anthony and Sharon (soon to be bare foot).

Hey Guys,

Hope everything is going well and that the wounds are healing quickly! It sounds like you're having a great time and I can assure you that Beth and I are very, VERY jealous.

Keep the updates coming, it gets me through the interminable hours at the office!

Cheers,
Simon

Hi Guys,

Happy new year, sounds like you had a really good christmas and new year in South Africa. We headed up north ourselves for the holidays, it was really nice but considerable colder than where you guys are, the temperatures are rarely getting above zero at the minute, at least its not raining..famous last words.

Enjoy OZ.

Tom & Mary.

Happy New Year to you both.

It tried to snow here yesterday, though Scotland is having less of the 'cold snap' than the rest of the UK.

Quiet Xmas and New Year here for us. Campbell is heavily into his xbox now, which Simon kindly set up for him.

Glad you're continuing to have a good time,
Kathy
