An invigorating swim with Gavin and Jack. We then went to the same Lebanese restaurant as last time in Randwick for a mixed grill.

Night on Table Mountain
Rob and Dawn invited Russell, Brandon and I to stay with them in The Mountain and Ski Club hut on the top of Table Mountain. I walked up with Dawn via Constantia Kek and the Jeep Track and the others joined us later. The weather up the top of the mountain was sublime with a warm berg wind. Dawn and I had a glorious swim in the dam. Russell brought up a bottle of delicious port and Brandon made the best hot chocolate I have ever tasted with cream liquor in it. The next day, Russell and I strolled to the Diving Board for photos. He then stayed for a swim while Dawn and I hiked down together again. Some wonderful heart to heart chats with her.

Car camping at Bents Basin
What a glorious place to camp with the most enormous waterhole I've ever seen. There was a rapid emptying into it at one end and we swam there and had great fun trying to swim up it. A perfect weekend.

We watched the full moon rise and then had a gorgeous swim in the tidal pool. Such a wonderful night.
