Day 12 - Meeting with Friends

Had a light breakfast today as we had been warned by our friends, Morag and Clive, that lunch had been booked at a lovely restaurant. Our hire car had not been collected at 9am, as promised, so we waited til 9.30 and then left the keys with the hotel reception to sort for us and we popped into the waterfront for a bit of last minute shopping as it had finally stopped raining. Morag and Clive arrived at 11am and we set off for their temporary home in Franschoek, which was absolutely delightful with loads of space and a cosy lounge with open fire.  We enjoyed a really good lunch at Roca Restaurant and caught up on all the news since they arrived in South Africa 3 months ago, after which we went to visit the building plot that will become their new home within the next year and a drive round the estate, they will have some fabulous views! On our way back we also had a quick trip round an extremely luxurious and exclusive hotel called La Residence where, rumour has it, Elton John is a frequent visitor! The staff were very friendly and we left having booked "afternoon tea" for Sunday - very grand!!
Wound up the day in front of a roaring fire and watched a film, very relaxed and delighted to be back in the company if our lovely friends.
