A wonderful 7 weeks in Cape Town. One of the great highlights was my week at Afrikaburn. I met up with two special people from the past; Julian and Ross. It was lovely to celebrate Jo and Sam's birthdays in person and be with mum on Mother's Day. Some wonderful photo excursions including Betties Bay, Bo Kaap and Strandfontein Sewerage Works. Two super hikes: Echo Valley above Kalk Bay and a night on Table Mountain. Lots of beach and tidal pool visits including Fish Hoek, St James, Llandudno, Camps Bay and Clifton. Some delicious meals out including my favourite; The Cattle Baron. Some sad events too including Jason passing away and Sheila getting ill.
