Sometimes
you have to turn a disaster into a positive. We were invited to lunch on a
Helderberg wine farm but, when we got there, no one we spoke to knew about the invitation! A bit of a PR nightmare, but apologies have
been received. After a long drive, huge
expectations were dashed. So we decided
to go down to the sea, where we had a lovely seafood platter at one of our favourites,
Ocean Basket on the Strand. Marvellous
views.
For those
of our readers who are overseas, this wonderful selection for two costs only
R215. Which currently equates to about
€15.37 or £12.25, for which we
conjecture you could buy a couple of muffins and 2 coffees in some of the countries we have visited
The bill. No corkage was charged for the bottle of Kleine Zalze Chenin Blanc we had bought locally, thinking we might have to picnic on the beach. We have to say a special thanks to the Blue Bottle liquor store, who gave us a wine glass to go with the one we already had in the car
A brave fisherman wearing waders. It was the beginning of the Spring tides and
the water was right up to the top of the beach and roadside
