It is still summer, but we often feel that we are shutting ourselves away. We have made a resolution to go out to a different area at least once a week and so we decided to go to the False Bay coast to have a lunch of Fish and Chips. The views from Boyes Drive were magnificent; the day was clear and fresh. Looking down on the Vleis and Muizenberg brings back lots of memories for Lynne of her early years when she used to come fishing and kite flying here with her father. And, of course, swimming off Muizenberg beach
The vista of the blue mountains and a windless sea
At Kalk Bay harbour, the seals were basking on the dockside,
waiting for fish scraps from the stalls
Not much to do today, but scratch and groom
Drying flecked snoek
Or how about a doze in the sun while you let people know you
are here by raising flipper and tail fin
Kalky’s has been here for years and it is the place for fresh fish. Covid queues are in force, so they have a
window where you pay and are given a number.
If you haven’t brought cash, they do have an ATM inside. We found a small table very quickly, under
the shade
A very disciplined queue; quite short and quick
Our bill, with the message we wanted, crisp chips
The tables have been spaced apart, further than before
Just the thing to enjoy with fish and chips - one of our
favourite unwooded, crisp chardonnays,
2019 Limestone Hill from de Wetshof in
Robertson. And yes, we do take our own glasses
The fish is delivered on top of the chips, so soggy just happens
The tables are sanitised before you sit down
Fishing off the end of the dock
Fresh fish on the slab - yellowtail
and two Kabeljou. We
heard a price of about R200 for a fish
A row of Kalk Bay fishing boats
It was a lovely escape, with a good
supermarket trip in Constantia Village on the way home
