The real African Queen arrived!

After mum and I also arrived safe and sound in Noordhoek, we were unexpectedly joined by Brams brother Daan and his girlfriend Lieve. They have decided to continue their journey through Africa from Cape Town. While waiting for their jeep, which should be somewhere on the Atlantic Ocean between Ghana and Cape Town, they will explore the Cape a bit.
We started off with a walk on Noordhoek beach and some sundowners at the Red Herring.

We're also stocked to have our television connected and especially to be able to view a few Belgian programme's such as the news. That way we still feel somehow connected with our home country.

Driving on the left side of the road, asks for some adjustment. The windscreen wipers of the car have been switched on many times instead of the indicators and I even caught myself twice being a ghost driver (luckily on deserted roads!). Absolute concentration is a must!

As for the renovations, only one word springs to mind: DUST. Because Noor and his team are making new door- and window openings, the whole house is constantly covered in a layer of dust. Even the wardrobes which we had taped, have caught dust inside.
We can't do a whole lot until Noor finished with the structural works. Meanwhile mum and I have been doing some interior shopping: choosing paint colours, floors, furniture, even the picknick baskets have been purchased.
