Final Mossel and the Journey
Back
  The tree in the
back garden that Larry and Marlo hang ‘bigger bits’ they find on the
beach. Before we left we had to have a group picture. Getting Larry and Bear to check the light was a real piece of work,
then we got Robert (L+M’s son) behind the camera.
  Not all
looking.
 Nearly, but Allen not
looking forward.
  Zuko
plumped down of his own volition but lost a bit of leg and tail. Oh dear.....
 Getting there, but Larry has a cunning plan.
 As good as it was going to get. The
bottle of Amarula a memory of how much we put away over the last few days –
Larry, Marlo, Me, Bear, Patricia and Allen. Then came
the time to say our fondest farewells and hit the road remembering fun,
laughter, reminiscence, warmth and friendship.
Shortly after leaving, we stopped in
the next town at a pie shop (a Die ou Meul – the same as on the way to Mossel
Bay). We gathered a variety for our freezers and then came the discussion of
what to eat. We had choices of snacks, pizzas or KFC which won. Well, what a
laugh. We stood at the counter and stood and stood. Bear and Patricia went to
sit down. Eventually a chap who clearly was much vexed served us, mid way a lady
took over. We ordered our food quite quickly but stalled when we asked for the
two-litre bottle of Coke that came with our meal choice. “No, we don’t have any
two-litre bottles”. What do you have. “Oh, we have litre bottles.” Can we have
two of those. “OK, I guess so.” The Allen and I stood and stood and
chatted and giggled about the Coke episode and twenty-five minutes later we
finally clutched our hard fought food and sat. Patricia fancied a ice cream. Off
Allen went and returned.....yes, twenty-five minutes later. More giggling. Were
there hundreds in the queue, no, each time no one. That done, car filled with
petrol we set off properly.
 We decided to take the N1 back to Cape
Town, very soon we had dramatic scenery to our
right......
 .....and to our
left.
   Light changing all
the time.
  Lovely
mountains.
    A very pretty
journey with a brief stop at a supermarket for a few needed supplies and
then on to Cape Town. Bear parked the car near the marina and we, by chance,
found a shopping trolley, filled it and trotted back to our respective homes.
What a wonderful time to look back on.
ALL IN ALL FAREWELLS AND
STUNNING SCENERY
A NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN
