Notes on a road trip - Day 9

 31 August 2022, Wednesday

Wessel's mom, who also lives in Langebaan, didn't know we were coming for a visit. Charlotte met us there, and as soon as mom was ready, we walked in. Tears and smiles and smiles and tears! She was very happy to see us and I could see that she could hardly believe it. 🙌

We had tea (more of the lovely milk tart) and lunch with her - Charlotte really spoilt us with soup for starters and a chicken dish with rice. It was good to see mom looking so sprightly still and we heard all about live at Gerimed. 


After lunch, we took a drive to the West Coast National Park. Sometimes it is necessary to not only look at the big picture, but zoom in a bit to see all the detail. 


Now the insect becomes visible!



They just bloom!

Form afar.

A bit closer...

What there actually is :-)

Blue and yellow flowers in the 'burbs of Langebaan

A view of the lagoon

Pincushion Proteas in someone's garden...

...and a few yellow ones a few houses further as well!

Wessel made us a lovely supper and we had Kloovenburg Sparkling Rosé as the wine pairing.

That's it for day 9.
