Woke up and went back to sleep at 8. Repeated the exercise 3 times before house keeping knocked on the door. Asked her to come back later and enjoyed the monday morning with Malene in bed not having to hurry for anything.
Realising that it wasn't worth the money (500 R each) or time to try to make it to the tip of the cape we decided to catch the hop on/hop off bus again. Went down to the stop and had a lovely ride in the opposite direction of yesterday. Got of at the Imizano Yethu township and spent the next 45 minutes with a very nice and enthusiastic guide who took us through the worst slum imaginable. Cant stop to wonder how it must be during the hot months. But as always - when you see places like that anywhere in the world - people look happy, well dressed and remarkably clean. Got on the bus again and drove for something like 20 minutes before we got off again - just being informed that the neighbourhood we were entering had some of the highest real estate prices in the southern part of Africa - up to 55 million R. The world is so full of contrasts.
If I ever were to set up a business here in the southern part of Africa I would trade barbed wire. There is so much being used for fencing .... everything. People's houses, properties, public areas, not so public areas. Give it a good fence with barbed wire no matter what it is. Just to be on the safe side. That would be my business. :-)
Spent the afternoon close to harbour doing our last minute shopping of practical stuff for the trip which is supposed to start early tomorrow. It's going to be interesting.
