Day 3 round the bend

 Today started with a bit of a problem - couldn't unlock the car - when I figured out you can do it the old fashioned I thought we were off and running - but no - battery was completely flat.... some one had parked the the night before and left the lights on. I'll hold my hands to that in case you thought it was Coral.

After a lot of faffing around our concierge Edward came to our rescue - he got his mate Lance to get some jump leads and get us going. I forced a couple of hundred rand on them which they reluctantly accepted. A couple of lovely blokes.

That being done we went down to Hout Bay to sit in the sun over some calamari and hake and some fizz.

View from our lunch 

The thing to do when you're here is to do the Chapmans Peak Drive it is one the world's best ocean drives. 9km and 114 bends it started construction in first world war with prison Labour of course. The first part was opened in the '20s and it has extended and improved over the decades. It has been shut off and on for quite a number years - the rocks are huge and they a habit of freeing themselves from their moorings.... there's been a few law suits apparently

Some views on Chapmans

Chapmans Peak got it's name from a certain chap called John Chapman. His English ship the Consent was becalmed in the bay in  1607 and he was sent ashore to find provisions. He was just the lowly ships pilot but allowed to name the area. His family should be proud.

We went over to the Artscape Theatre to see a chap called Craig Jackson doing his comedy show  (side splitting allegedly) called Defending the Caveman.... it was well trodden path about differences between men and women. Some of it cracked my funny bone  but there weren't many surprises in the show. Unfortunately boys we need to up our game - but I think you already knew that......

It's our last day in CT tomorrow- we're shipping out to Stellenbosch for a few days
