"I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul." Jo had a real connection, here, as she teaches Invictus as a Year 12 text.

In the Cape Town harbour, seals swim and bask. Dodging the ferries and tour boats in the water, and then lounging in the sun on platforms that keep them a little isolated from the passing crowds.

A hollowed out loaf of bread filled with curry (lamb in this case). More of a Durban dish, but available here in Cape Town.

A rock hyrax, or as the locals call them, a dassie. Looking something like a small wombat, with a quokka's head.

It is so easy to anthropomorphise this interaction, that I will let each of you create your own meaning from the image.

Emerging from a gap between two rocks, this cute penguin was cautious, but not too perturbed, by our presence.

That applies to us and the penguins.

Colourful houses are the norm for the Bo Kaap neighbourhood of Cape Town.

Jo gives moral support to Nelson Mandela as he delivers a speech at City Hall, Grand Parade, Cape Town.

Walking around town, we stumbled across Truth Coffee Roasting. Steampunk themed, with pressed metal decorations, and exposed pipes in the large space. Wait staff with vintage styled vests and top hats, flying goggles and more. The coffees available were intriguingly described. They included brewing, roasting, and preparation details that I found difficult to comprehend the significance there-of. However, somebody out there must feel those minor nuances make the result a better cup of coffee.

Panorama vista from our Balcony in Gardens, Cape Town. The view far exceeds our expectations when we booked! Unfortunately, the glorious weather depicted did not stay with us for our entire Cape Town visit, but c'est la vie, especially la vie travelling!
