"Wow when will I ever get the chance to do this again" says Ingrid and gives the thumbs up sign.  Friends atop the Heads and it looks like Heather is a bit nervous about standing so close to the edge!

Our dinner at Simola was a fitting end to our trip away - the ladies all dressed in their finery and Brenda and Susan share a quiet little joke

"Sushi, seafood starters coupled with a buffet with delicious paella, rump steak, chicken - oh my goodness where will we find space for dessert?"

JP and Mel share a joke, and Bridget and Mel try to emulate Susan Boyle!  Mel decided she would be better off being our 'model-of-note' than trying to sing!

Lunch was at La Belle Alliance in Swellendam - their peaceful gardens could, unfortunately, not be used for the lunch.  It was a chilly damp day, but their restaurant indoors was so warm and cozy that had we known what lay in wait down Sir Lowry's Pass, we might have lingered over lunch for another hour or so!  (The long weekend coupled with the whale festival caused this).  When finally we reached our end point and swapped over into our shuttles to take us home, there was much hugging and a certain sadness that this trip was indeed over!  Oh well on to 2010 for more fun in the sun.
