'No, you go in first!'  Ronnie says to Mel, although she seems very keen to give him a 'hello' kiss.  Brian wanted to buy some of these biltong flavored biscuits, until he discovered they were for dogs!

Ronnie charming the ladies (again).  When Marie saw this, she thought she might be getting a new art work, but the lady was just telling Ronnie her whole life history.  Carol discovered a new 'craze' - a scarf filled with little beads that expand when immersed in water and give an amazing cooling effect to your neck.  Perfect for a hot day........ (can also be put in the microwave for heating!).

"DON'T FEED THE ANIMALS" - Marie and Jenny seem to be saying "Let us out" - however they are just waiting in the cool of a big old tree for the coach to arrive.

The Look Out Deck in Hout Bay was our lunch venue.  The position of this restaurant being so close to the water, with amazing views, had everyone gasping "Wow aren't we lucky to live in Cape Town"

A number of small tables were stacked together, creating "one long table" which always favors everyone getting on very well. It is wonderful to have such fabulous friends to share lunch with.

"This piece of fish is HUGE" said Rose whilst Caroline seemed to be waiting in hope of getting something to eat!  Look at her anxious hands.........almost willing the waiter to bring her plate.

Ronnie and Jenny believe they are related, and are soon to be investigating their family tree - meanwhile they are comparing knees, and believe there is definitely a likeness, if this is anything to go by.  We sadly took our leave of Hout Bay in the late afternoon, after a very exhilarating day out.  With Christmas a few days away, everyone feels very relaxed, ready to face the onslaught of Christmas parties, food overload and then to hit the shops again for the post Christmas sales..
