a cape tonian summer is heat, wind and sun, autumn is occasional sun, wind and mist. this explains why the renowned 3 peaks race was postponed twice - the first due to massive storms, the second due to hectically windy and misty conditions on the mountain. as you can see from some of the pics, we were layered and ready to conquer a peak or two. alas, that will have to wait until spring!

another festive event in june was seb's 29th, celebrated in true style - over almost two weeks.
week one: dinner at ginja (unfortunately extremely disappointing), dinner at andiamo (pasta + glass of wine for R100 - bargain!) after going to jason's exhibition, postponed shark cage diving (due to 9m swell) in gansbaai.
week two: une fête française (red wine, cheese and baguettes) at our flat with many a MBA-er and a few nons, dinner at HQ - a more than meaty restaurant (although they do have a veg option) and one of the last braais of the season with the family - the sun kindly made an appearance after a week of torrential rain.
