Ah, memories don't come better than this! Russell and I started in Kirstenbosch, then hike up Skeleton Gorge. At the top, we did some leaping on an overhanging rock (Russell was a lot less terrified than me!) and then we headed off for some geo-caching. Finally, a delicious swim in the reservoir and more leaps. What an awesome day.

Constantia Glen for lunch
This is a lovely vineyard with a restaurant with a great view. We enjoyed a huge cheese and cold meat platter. Yum!

Llandadno with Russell
The weather was pretty cold and miserable, but that didn't stop us from having a great time. We searched for a geo-cache that proved impossible to find; then a walk along the rocks, oggling at the multi million rand houses along the way. Finally, some great leaps to celebrate being together again.

Easter breakfast at Groot Constantia
A fun morning eating a delicious breakfast, then exploring the room and "dungeons" of Groot Constantia with Matt who was rather more cautious of the dark than me! Finally a lovely walk with the family through the fields to an old pool where I performed a very wet leap!

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.
