Clovelly Country Club On Friday evening my partner and I enjoyed a delicious dinner with his cousins at the Clovelly Country Club. We sat at a table on the Deck, the outdoor terrace of the Clovelly Country Club, to see the sunset on the Atlantic Ocean. It was cold so the waiter provided a tall gas heater to keep us warm. It was lovely to sit there all evening. The view over the Fish Hoek beach and...

On a cold winters morning in St James, Yvonne and I drove at 6.15 to Lagoon Beach hotel to meet our  Recycler friends. The Lagoon Beach hotel is on Table Bay. http://www.lagoonbeachhotel.co.za/   We are about to start the ride to Melkbos It was still dark when we unloaded the bikes.           26 Recyclists met us. We cycled on a safe cycle path to Blauwberg and some 0r the...

This morning Yvonne and I met in Kalk Bay to cycle towards Cape Point. We managed to cycle off road to avoid the traffic. It was a sunny morning, but with wind.

After a delicious breakfast, the sun was still shining and there was no wind so we drove for 20 minutes, along the coast to the Cape Point info centre. We unloaded the bikes and cycled down to the sea in False Bay. We...

What a good experience we have had to get a new passport. We drove through the vineyards for an hour to reach Paarl. The old oak trees and Cape Dutch buildings delighted us when we arrived in Paarl. Soon we were parked in the small carpark. I followed my daughter into the building 5 minutes later and after 2 minutes we walked out with the passport. What a relief that our second experience was no...

On Sunday I watched the 31st Argus Cycle Tour from the winesense restaurant on Main Road in Kalk Bay. 33000 cyclists passed us on bicycles, tricycles, tandems and monocycles in perfect weather conditions — no wind. The race is very well-organised by the Pedal Power Association, but it is difficult to recognise friends as they pass. You need to know their estimated time of arrival in Kalk Bay to be able...
