A Dragon Tree sits basking in the sun, whilst
its nearest family reside in the Canary Islands an early immigrant from the
ld World. The bright pillar-box red of the Clock Tower watches over proceedings,
as you ponder the menu of Harries Pancake House. Hmm, now which one shall I have
… the dark chocolate mousse or the banana caramel?
Out in front of you the jazz band is doing its
best to keep your feet tapping, whilst a few meters further on the seals gently
roll and dive, cooling their fur and sleeping off the effects of their fishy
lunch.
Across the harbour, the glass and marble of the
shopping malls brings relief from the hot afternoon sun.
All manner of beautiful objects longing to make
the trip home with you, lovingly wrapped in bubble-wrap to make it safely to
that special resting place.
As the sun begins to slide into the water, a
chilled glass of South African wine allows you to unwind from the days exertions
in preparation for the evening sail into the sunset.
As one more day in paradise slips away, there
iss always the knowledge that there is so much more to see tomorrow.
I've sailed almost everywhere in the world
exccept the moon, as my daughter says "But Cape Town is the best"-
