Not all sunshine and roses...

All day Friday there was torrential rain, accompanied by thunderstorms. My plane landed in what seemed like the very vortex of a thunderstorm--I think we were all amazed we made it. This flood in Kalk Bay was one of the results, and it nearly delayed my breakfast. I got off lucky--shacks were washed away, whole informal settlements are awash in sewage, and a hospital had to be evacuated.

Today I had to go to Cape Point to pick up binoculars left behind two weeks ago. It was a bit of forced touristing, which I enjoyed.
