So we moved from Jefferrys bay early the next morning (getting up at 5 am) in order to hit the road before any potential storms.the journey was however very tame, well except for the tortoise and baboons in the middle of the road. got to cape town for about 1pm headed dtraight for the waterfront got lost and ran out of petrol. Quickly got back on track though and got to my uncle maurices house in south field.
after settling in we headed on to the Nelsons Eye for a steak (thanks Mauaice) and when i say steak i mean Steak and a half Big Fat Juciy steak the best i have ever tasted (better even than the Bryn Trych) but evidently filling.
Cat arrived early the next morning so off we went and got her took her straight to the waterfront and i got lost. looked around the town and checked out cow parade. then the maratime mueseum and back to Marices for a swim in his hand made Pool.
Christmas eve Eve was all about the casino, which evidently was the bigest i have ever seen they had whole streets and cinimas and theaters and lots of restarunts, i was in share ore of the place and so found my way to the gambnling floor and played a bit of roulete and i don't think i lost a bet came away 500 rand up. everyone else wasn't so lucky so i had to get the cocktails in.

Christmas day was cool got some presents from the girls and from alex cheers. and then went out for christmas lunch before hiting the beach on christmas day (I'm So Cool).

currently boxing day and so we went off to find the penguins in simons Town. The story goes that in 1980 this coloney of Jackass Penguins having got fed up on life in a cold uninhabited island and made there home bolders beach Cape town they where proptlky renamed Africain Penguins and get to go swiming with thousands of humans every day. the humans don't seem to mind though and are quite curious creatures. still nobody knows how long they plan to stay for, and i certainly did'nt think i would get to see penguins on this trip.

thanks Maurice, and Janice for letting us stay we have had a great timne so far.
