Signal hill

From 2007-01-21 Ki...

The weekend is now almost over however we have a lot to show for it. Friday was movie night, Saturday we finished up our school shopping with a trip by train to Claremont on the train. Woolworths and Mr. Price was the target and we found gym shoes and a few more shirts for Henry. After naps and a nice supper with fresh watermelon ($2.50 each), we took a trip to the cable car entrance to see what we could see (the cable car was closed due to high winds- we will try to get up there next weekend when Ray Giesbrecht arrives). What spectacular views on the west side of Table Mountain and then off to Signal Hill to watch the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. This sunset is a fabulous experience and we will be taking all our visitors to see this. We stayed until it was dark enough to see the comet. That was something you don’t see every day.

Sunday morning was our first church day down the street to the Mowbray Presbyterian Church. Service started at 9:45. We were warmly greeted by almost everyone in the church (it felt like it) and we had tea afterwards. People were very warm and friendly and the kid’s enjoyed Sunday school too. There was nice singing, and the pastor had a good sense of humour. We will probably go back.

After naps and a swim, we went to Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens for the 3 Tenors concert. We bought our membership into the society which includes free membership for the year. Here we met Dan and Yvonne Nighswander for a picnic. We also did some exploring, it seems like there are endless paths to traverse in this park.
