What a weekend. We left on Friday afternoon after the kids were done school to Betty's Bay to stay at a cottage. The drive is beautiful. On Saturday we visited Hermanus to see the whales. They did not disappoint. We saw multiple pods of Southern Right Whales breaching, lobtailing, sailing, etc. What a show. With lunch at Wimpy's to add to the experience, everyone had fun. Carla had a little sprain of the ankle as she was too busy watching the whales, and not the path, but hopefully she'll be back to normal soon.

On the way home we stopped in Somerset West at the Monkey Land and then at the Spier winery near Stellenbosch. Today Chris made it up Table Mountain on the tram and then she gladly went to the market to shop. We will miss her when she departs on Wednesday...but will see her in 3 weeks.
