As a treat for Ouma’s birthday on the 13th, we took her to the casino for the night. This is, according to her, the best thing you can do for her as a treat.
She had a blast gambling, and actually left with more money than she started with.
We stayed at the hotel on property so she could play as late (and early the next day) as she wanted to.
Happy early birthday, Ouma!

One of those beautiful evenings.

How did we get so lucky to have the most perfect day to go whale watching?It was warm and beautiful.
The whales were all around us. It is just a little tough to catch them on camera!
Hermanus itself is a charming seaside town that knows what it is. Little art stores, coffee houses and all kinds of interesting places just adds to the charm.

It was a fun-filled day full of love, laughter, family, friends and fun. Lunch was a Louisiana Crawfish Boil and they devoured this 'American Import' dish!
After dinner some of us went to the mountainside to go watch the sun set over the bay.
All in all, a splendid day!
We went to one of our favorite little places. The Blue Peter on Bloubergstrand.
The idea was to go have a drink and move on.
Many hours later we have listened to a great band, danced with strangers, heard a street person walk up and sing Italian Opera, had friends come over to join us and watched Table Mountain with the sun setting in the ocean.
One of those days where the photos do not do justice to the memories we made.
So many photos of many happy smiling people. The food was so good, the wine kept flowing and the room was filled with laughter and conversations of old and new friends.
Happy Birthday Ouma, Gaby, Kenn and Coen!

We arrived a little early at Cavalli to help with the setup for dinner. The room looked so pretty and with the landscape around it was like sitting in a painting.
As the sun started going down, the view got even better. Everything had a warm tint of gold.
This was setting out to be a great birthday party.

For dinner we just dropped into a local seafood restaurant. The view of sunset was breathtaking, and the place was cozy and fun. Spend a great time with the owners hanging around at our table.
We stopped at Delaire Graff for lunch. We ate at a restaurant called Indochine. It is South African food with distinct eastern influences. It was so perfectly tasty.
Our view was down the valley overlooking vineyards and farms.
So much yummy!
