When I planned this trip, I wanted a relaxing environment where I could do some work. But four weeks is quite a long time. I travel a lot, but I've rarely spent more than one week at a time at any one place. So it was very important that the location I chose would have numerous attractions, so that I don't get bored.
I decided on Cape Town for lots of good reasons. Not least because it would afford me a lazy suburban life, but also because I'd be able to go into the city itself for some urban flavour.
As it turns out, I only managed once to make to the beautiful beach down the road. I've been so spoilt for choice everyday. Because this place completely felt like home, the time simply flew. It felt more like two weeks than four.
Thanks, Karin and Jon, for this well equipped cottage, and more importantly, for your incredible warmth and hospitality!
