Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

December 31 and New Year’s Day

Hello to 2012!

We left Cape Town and Oscar the Seal and the very cool cruise ship, THE WORLD. Cape Town was lovely, and we are now in wine country, Franschhoek/Stellenbosch.  Children do not belong here; where is our nanny, Hmmmmm? Just Kidding.  So, we found the auto museum, pretty cool.  Just like Napa, so beautiful; plus mountains.  Wineries fantastic, grounds: breathtaking.  Just like everything else in Afrika!

New Year’s Eve was hilarious!  We were probably the youngest in the place.  There was a singer/dj who thought we were on the Love Boat.   So loud, and so bad!  We thought MB was going to die laughing.  The wait staff was even full of giggles.  The entertainment did improve once Jeff and Maddie took over his karaoke lap top and mike.  Thank heavens!

New Year’s Day held more hiking, we all need exercise, badly.  The food and wine is out of this world and beyond cost effective.  We cannot get over how inexpensive the food and drink is and it is all remarkably fresh and wholesome.  And beautiful. 

We are off to London 3 Jan.  Will touch base then.  We cannot believe our journey is in its last legs.  It seems as if we have had many holidays in one; everyday seems to be two. 

Enjoy the pictures, there are many.  Love you all, be safe!
