New Year's Eve in Cape
Town
At six Kimi and Trevor popped over to
Beez for a ‘catch up’ and holding an
adorable present for us.
A gorgeous little dung beetle complete with his
prize. I was given the honour of naming him. I chose Kimvor – sounds
vaguely African and will always be a memory of our amazing road trip to see the
Big Five. Thank you both xx xx.
At seven we set off for Slow
Flight, (aka The Party Boat). No wonder the sea lions
loll about the marina, millions of little
fish.
Pizzas arrived at seven thirty........
........with
a high potential for ‘things to get
messy’.
At eleven thirty The Assembly headed out to find a suitable spot to watch
the fireworks. From right to left:- Kimi (Slow Flight), Irma and Kevin
(Canace), Fred (Serafina), Bob and Bev (Icarus),
Allen and Patricia (Nauti Nauti), Trevor (Slow Flight) and us.
Bear and I felt that Trevor should not be alone in the hat
department.
A right
pair.
We settled on the bascule bridge next
to the marina, looking toward the
crane and the outer bridge.
Behind us the V+A
Marina. High above we could make out a line of lights on Table Mountain.
Will I ever forget the traumatic entry and turning left beyond the tall mast on
the left ??? Not for a while yet.
At the stroke of midnight the sky lit up, huge cheers and New Year’s
kisses.
These may not be the most spectacular
fireworks we have ever seen but what a way to mark
our arrival in Cape Town. Louie in the marina office told us that these may be
the last ever as there is so much controversy connected to the event. What a
terrible shame if this turns out to be true. The Mother City must carry on. It
is always a joy to watch the news on New Year’s morning and see all the cities
flash by, Cape Town must be amongst the group.
We thoroughly enjoyed the display then bimbled back to Slow Flight.
Snacks, fun and laughter – we left at four.......
We would like to wish a Very Happy New Year to all our family and friends. May the new
decade be awesome and 2020 be the very best yet.
ALL IN ALL WONDERFUL TO
CELEBRATE BEING HERE
A GREAT TIME WITH THE
GANG |
