Arrival in Cape Town!

Despite my flights running very smoothly and economy class on Qatar airlines being very comfortable I didn't get a wink of sleep so I arrived in Cape Town on Tuesday morning totally exhausted! Spying Honray's beaming face as I walked into the arrivals area soon perked me up though and the buzz of being somewhere new helped me to last the short drive to his flat. Once he had gone to work I crashed out and slept from about 11am till 4.30pm. Honray got back from work a little later and took me up Signal Hill, which overlooks the city, for a beer and to soak up some sights. It was a bit overcast and Table Mountain was crowned with a huge cloud, but was no less impressive for it. Honray's family are here till thisevening so we went for dinner with them before going to watch the second half of the ManU Dynamo match at Honray's friend's place.
I slept like a log last night and was woken thismorning to the suggestion that I accompany Honray to work where he would source me a hire car so I could drive to Langebaan for a windsurf or kitesurf. It looked windy out, so I lept out of bed and thats what we did. Unfortunately the car ire place can't get a car to me until midday so I had a wander about the attractive waterfront area and had a savory pancake breakfast before finding an internet terminal to st up a blog. That brings me up to date. Its now 10.45 so soon I'll be picking up my hire car and driving an hour North to Langebaan where I will hopefully hire a windsurfer or kitesurf gear and get on the water!! I'll get some pics uploaded as soon as I can......
