We started off with a plane journey....as you do.... then proceeded to be introduced by the recently met Johnny and Vince to the marvelous wonder that is the Pepper Bus.
It was really windy as we drove into Capetown and Table mountain had a thick "table cloth" on top which looked incredable.
As the sun began to set we went off to an stunning beach and relaxed with glass of champagne, watching a couple of people who clearly didn't have lives as they could have beaten the best tennis players in the world with a bat and ball...... Enzo then proceeded in trying to haggle for what he thought was a chair, little did he known, but the looky looky man was playing some kind of sick joke and was infact a table, a terrible tragidy that im sure we can all agree will haunt him into old age.
We then ended the day by having a couple a drinks in the cool little bar upstairs that Vince showed us. I however did not as i felt that there should at least be one sober person to look after everyone.......then after about two minutes of hard deliberation, i scapped that disgusting idea, and we all had a great evening.
We then spent the next day (2) travelling around the coast stopping to see the pinguins a single beautiful beach. We then continued this little adventure at Cape Point where the veiws were truely phenominal, and although we didn't manage to see one of the ever illusive Baboons, there was consilation in the fact that there were a rather large number of Japanese tourists who had clearly managed to see sense in climbing the mountain in suits. We then went down to the beach again for sunset before ending up in a beachsidebar on "the strip"and met Vince and Johnny's friends for a drink and ended up in a club called friction.....gooooooooood night.
The next day (3) was another beautiful one, and it brought a new Johnny, with all sense of rational normality appearing to have left him completely.
We drove for a few hours north, heading for the Breede river. The scenery in South Africa is truely amazing, you can be on convincingly tropical beaches, and then after a twenty minute drive be driving through vast farms, with huge rolling hills almost resembling Italy.
Along the way we stopped at a relatively small farming town, where instead of sampling the local food we had a take away, the heat was incredibly strong.
We continued and eventually reached the track leading to the Felix Unite camp, with Vince taking the 120kph sign as a personal challenge.
The Breede river is AMAZING, it was beautiful in every way and i reckon enzo did it justice so just read his post. One thing i can say is that we have distinctly established that Jonney is not a great fan of bugs of any shape or size.
After having travelled back to Cape Town we went to a sushi restaurant, with most of the sushi ending up airbourne. Then we went back to the bar that Vince showed us, and i went on the hunt for the "unbelievable loo" which previously had evaded me. As the evening continued and we lost marissa and hatti to a club called Marvel, the evenings power cut brought out a new side to the town with people singing on roof bars by candle light.
Anyways, another fantastic night and is now morning and i have a treck up table mountain facing me, wish us luck,
much love,
george.
