Day 13 - Weightlifting!

Clive went off early today as he is starting up a scheme for training the youngsters of Franschhoek in the skills of weightlifting and there was to be a competition in the local sports centre. Morag took us off to the new Black Dog cafe for breakfast, which turned out to be everyone else's idea for breakfast too!  Very busy but worth the wait as the food was excellent and my experience was only clouded by walking nose first into a plate glass door on the way out! Pain level 10, embarrassment level 20!
Spent the rest of the day at the sports centre watching the kids compete at the weightlifting, all were quite accomplished and the organisation was very good. Medals were given out at the end of each age section and both Clive and Morag were called upon to present medals in two categories.  The organisers donated some valuable and much needed equipment to the new venture and final trophies awarded to the winning youngsters. A great day and hopefully the start of a new club for Franschhoek.  We rounded off the day with a meal at the new local Indian restaurant, The Marigold, which was lovely although both Jon and Clive underestimated the power of their beef curries!!
