Started this morning nice and easy.  Shane (Jason’s brother) gave me a lift to the airport and we had a coffee and a chat before I caught my flight.  The flight was delayed by 30 minutes but that was no worry as I wasn’t in any hurry.

I had arranged for a Mercedes from the hotel to come and pick me up.  Must admit that it’s the first ever time that I’ve arrived at an airport and one of those people holding up a card had my name on it .  The trip to the hotel was nice and gave me a good chance to see a fair bit of Cape Town on the way.  The driver was also kind enough to point out a few things as we went past.

I arrived at the hotel and was really pleased that the hotel was practically on the beach.  I was then shown into my room.  Wow!  What a view!  Absolutely stunning and the room was fabulous too.

I decided to head out onto the beach and had a bit of a walk, taking in the sea air.  Before doing that I decided to try and book my Winelands tour.  I had wanted to do it tomorrow, as the weather report was not looking good.  Unfortunately there were no spaces available, so I had to settle for Wednesday instead.  After a little relaxation on the beach, the sunlight wasn’t going to last long so I headed over to the local store and bought some light provisions.  I then decided to take it easy for the rest of the evening and spend some quality time in my quality hotel room.
