Our host, Charmaine, was wonderful. Once we entered the apartment, there was a bottle of wine, chocolates, and a rock with the South African flag and my name on it, along with one that stated, "Welcome to Cape Town.". :) We arrived in late afternoon after two days of traveling. It was cold and rainy. We needed to shower and were too tired to walk to a restaurant for dinner. All the nearby grocery stores had closed at 6pm. Charmaine came down to meet us with a large bowl of homemade tomato soup and slices of warm bread and butter. This was so thoughtful and definitely made our night!
