NATAL MIDLANDS TOUR

Cleopatra's Mountain Farmhouse

Day 5: Thursday 18th July.

Some last minute shopping? "Brian P.L.E.A.S.E. we have to STOP at the Ugly Duckling!  What a treat for the gatherers amongst us.

Cleopatras is in a perfect position in the Kamberg area.  What a perfectly restful place this is. It is owned and run by ex Granny Mouse owners.
This panoramic shot of our group shows us all listening intently to what was on the extensive menu for lunch (Toby is missing - she is the photographer). Also our guests Richard and Jacqui elected not to be part of the photo.
It was the perfect way to spend an afternoon.  We had the dining room to ourselves.  The food just kept on coming - so much so that a few ladies actually took 'doggy bags' of the divine fillet steak home with them!
Our cheesecake dessert was delicious and pronounced light and not too sweet - "Just what we needed to finish the meal"

Day 6: Friday 19th July: Homeward Bound

After packing the coach with all our luggage we stopped at the Nelson Mandela Capture Site.  A very impressive sculpture of steel has been built on the site where Mandela was captured and ultimately sent to Robben Island.

What a pity we never had time to go to the museum or memorabilia store on site.  Our flight was at 13.20 - and with the King Shaka airport being an hour and a half from Howick we had to watch the clock.  We just made it in time!

The statue is perfectly placed in front of a wonderful backdrop.
From this angle you cannot see Mandela's face - but when you stand at a designated spot his face miraculously comes appears.
Final leg of our tour. Waiting to board our return flight to Cape Town.  What a pity it has to end but as the old adage goes "All good things come to those who wait" - The Natal tour was a very special time filled with many happy memories.

We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment
