It looked just horrible. I went to Capetown, the Garden Route, the Little Karoo, and then up to Richards Bay and Hluhlwe, so I missed Durban. It was a wonderful trip!

12:15 am

We did a fair amount of driving but didn't drive all the way to Richards Bay. omg what a teeny airport!

Cape Town is wine country with winter rainfall. They have had almost no rain for two years. Water supply is critical and severe restrictions in place.

moolingwa

mi6 which would like a nick to the slips in cricket...off a wild swing

3:08 pm

mattygroves

And the ma - thanks!

3:08 pm

moolingwa

there's an mi6 which sounds like a small british care + a sound you make to silence someone

3:08 pm

mattygroves

Aaah - I've been in england 29 years - I actually got the cricket reference

3:09 pm

moolingwa

and then ty6 - which is a person who governs with impunity and in a meanspirited fashion

3:09 pm
