After a last breakfast at Diamant Estate we packed our luggage (heavier by now…) and ouselves into the car and set off for our last destination Cape Town.
Leaving our rooms at Diamant Estate
We challenged ourselves by stopping at the Canal Walk mall in Century City. Joakim and I bought a new suitcase, mainly to replace a broken one at home, but also to get som more luggage space going home. Calle took the opportunity to get himself a new wallet, heavens know why… :)
The traffic going into town was quite busy, so we decided to go straight to Maison Fountain Blue, the bed & breakfast place we had booked. Our host Denise gave us a heartily welcome; we unloaded the car and then got a taxi to go down town. We dropped Gun and Calle off at a ”Hop on Hop off” stop and continued to Loop Street were we had made an appointment with Riaan Kroukamp, senior consultant at Intergate Immigration. The purpose of the meeting was to find out more about how possible it would be for us to live and work in South Africa for a longer time. After the meeting we felt we had the received the solid information we need to continue our research from home. :)
New place, new view. From Avenue Fontainbleau in Fresnaye.
We decided to energize ourselves at the restaurant on the corner next to Intergate, which turned out to be a fantastic vegetarian place. What a coincident! We enjoyed tasty smoothies and wraps, which was very wise considering the long walk we were about to start.
During the rest of the afternoon we walked through the downtown, all the way to V&A Waterfront. It took us about 1,5 hours. We decided to stay at the Waterfront and at 7PM Gun and Calle joined us. We went to a seafood restaurant that was full of people watching a rugby game. After a while a really good band started playing too, so we had a nice but kind of silent meal this evening.
