Brrrrr. Cloudy & dull this morning, such a shame after yesterday. Anyway I am off to the harbour for an eco cruise run by the Two Oceans Aquarium aboard their fabulous catamaran. Hoping to see some sunfish, more jackass penguins, dolphins, and even an early Southern Right Whale. Bill & Bryony are off to Robben Island at 1pm, I opted for this cruise instead, as I did Robben Island last time, and loved it. I didnt want to return and jeopodise my previous memories.
Cruise was v good, although we didnt see any sunfish, there were lots of jellyfish, their staple diet, lots of dolphins and a few penguins, a couple of Gannets, oyster catchers, and hundreds of Cape Comorants.
Returned to shore absolutely frozen, so feasted upon a large bowl of homemade pumpkin soup, and fresh baked bread-almost worth getting cold for.:)
Spent afternoon packing for early departure to Kruger tomorrow. Then back to the harbour tonight for final meal in Cape Town. What to choose? No contest, ostrich again, and my last Don Pedro too. Who knows I may have to share the Amarula with the Elephants in the Kruger tomorrow.
"Don Pedro's" are made by mixing Amaraula with cream & ice cream. Amarula is made from the fruit of the Marula tree, and The marula fruit is also eaten by various animals in Southern Africa. In the movie Animals Are Beautiful People by Jamie Uys, released in 1974, some scenes portray elephants, warthogs and monkeys becoming intoxicated from eating fermented marula fruit
