Seeing Joanna and Steve

It was so lovely to see Joanna and Steve again. Joanna is one of my oldest and dearest friends. Their lovely children, David and Luke, are growing up so fast. I didn't get to play cricket with them this time which is probably just as well because David bowled me well and truly out last time!

Hout Bay and Chapman's Peak with Russell

It's so wonderful that Russell is in Cape Town at the same time as me. Today, we were happily reunited after not seeing each other since he was in Sydney in 2010.

Russell is staying in Hout Bay with his mum. It was lovely to see her again too, and I was amazed to find that Sally is still alive. She is 18 I think! She's slow and a bit hobbled but the Sally sparkle is still there. I burst into tears when I saw her as it made me realise Mack is going to get old too one day.

Russell and I then went for ice-cream at my favourite Italian ice-cream place in Hout Bay followed by some geo-caching and leaping on the beautiful Chapman's Peak.

Sally, now 18 years old!!

My favourite ice cream place in just about the whole world. I did my usual 4 scoops bonanza.

Inside look at a Sydney to Hobart Racing Yacht

My good friend, Nicola, took these wonderful photos earlier this year during The Sydney to Hobart yacht race. It was so cool to be able to see inside the boats. As I said in my earlier post, they were very much made for speed rather than comfort!!
