The rain finally stopped during the night, and we had a slow get up with a nice cup of tea in bed.
We left our Johannesburg apartment at 10.30 and caught the Gautrain to the airport. Our Gold cars for the train worked well, and we had just 6 rand left on them after our trip. At the airport we found we had good wifi, so we all sat and updated emails, etc whilst I wrote up some more of this blog.
Arriving at Capetown we got a taxi to our new apartment, overlooking Greenmarket Square, and met Lauren, the keeper of the keys. It's a lovely apartment with plenty of space for the three of us, and a view over the city to Table Mountain. It's noisy due to the market, but we had expected that, and it's fun to watch the vendors and tourists down below.
First priority was to buy beer, wine and milk, plus some custard flavoured yoghurt for Teri and Mick. After a beer on the balcony, and a bit of research on the area, we went out to explore.
The tapas bar on Bree Street was rejected as too noisy, so we found a small Ethiopian restaurant in a side street, and had an excellent meal eaten with our fingers and rice flat bread. Then it was back to our apartment ready for tomorrow.
