Lockdown 634

Lockdown Day 634- 20 December 2021

Cape Town day. We visited Cape Town today just to see the city in all its splendour. Lukas joined us for an early visit to the factory shops just off the M5, where we enjoyed a Vida-e smorgasbord of coffee, their famous tiny choccies and some really delicious breakfast treats. The 4-cheese herb muffin definitely deserves a mention.

We took the scenic drive through the old and beautiful Newlands, Rondebosch and Rosebank, taking Nelson Mandela Boulevard past Groote Schuur  and into the city via Buitengracht street.

Stopping at Origin Coffee Roasters just off Buitengracht was just like a cup full of memories. We remembered our coffee loving family now living in the Netherlands and Czech, who introduced us to the world of coffee at Origin. It was where I had my very first flat white and knew it was going to make a coffee snob out of me.

With the smooth Origin bean taste still lingering, we drove all along the sea front and turned back just before Hout Bay. We drove up to the Table Mountain Cableway to get a good view of Table Bay. What a sight to behold. No wonder it is one of the seven wonders of the Natural World.

Back home, we celebrate life in the wake of Mom's elder sister's passing early this morning. So tonight I dedicate her life and the incredible difference she made during her career as an educator and intellectual. We salute you Ami! #Gbwy
