Clifton with Mary-Ann and the family
After a wonderful visit with Russell's dad and Kobus in Sea Point, I walked to Clifton. I adore Clifton; it epitomises Cape Town and its beauty for me. I lazed on the beach and walked from 1st beach to 4th beach, enjoying the nubile sights, before the others arrived. Mary-Ann and I had a very bracing dunk in. So invigorating!
