The weekend began with a Safari trip in Inverdoorn. It was an early start and a long drive, but it truly was worth it. We saw a great deal of wildlife including buffalos, lions, cheetahs, zebras and we were even lucky enough to walk with the giraffes. In the evening we met Kulsoom, a friend of Erik and Ronel’s and employee of Nokia, and the five of us went for a meal at ‘The Opal Lounge’ in the city. It was a delicious meal and yet again another great night with plenty of jokes and laughter, but whatever you do, don’t ever let Erik ask you to solve any of his riddles!
On the Sunday we visited Cape Point with the same company as the night before. We took the scenic walk and saw some beautiful sights; thankfully the walk wasn’t as treacherous as the Lion’s head walk Erik took us up last week! Next it was time for us (or rather the ‘Blokes on Patrol’) to see the Jackass Penguins at Simon’s Town. It was a great deal of fun as we filmed a documentary with Erik sharing all of our wisdom on the penguins and we can’t wait to finally see his film editing skills for ourselves. In the evening it was a pleasure to meet Fatima, the CEO of Pearson South Africa, and to enjoy a lovely meal in Camp’s Bay, with the sunset in the background, to round the weekend off.Everyone is making us feel so welcome and it’s going to be really difficult to say goodbye to such a brilliant place with so many warm and hospitable people!
