Hi all and welcome to the start of another Ticket to Ride African Road Trip.
We are in Cape Town at the moment which is stop 1 of 5 that our little crew will be visiting over the course of the next 6 weeks, and it promises to be another classic!
So far there’s not too much to report. The guys all got into Cape Town on Tuesday so most of the day was spent doing airport runs and getting everybody settled in.
Yesterday we were lucky enough to have a day of offshore winds down in Muizenberg, which is where the group will be doing their surfing lessons while in Cape Town. We spent the morning session going over some of the basics just to get everybody back up to speed. While in the afternoon it was out to the back to get a taste of some real Muizenberg surf. A double lesson is usually a shock to the system, what with all that paddling about, but the guys seemed to manage just fine, and other than a few sore arms, it was smiles all round.
Later that evening, we went out to one of the local pizza places for a bite to eat. We didn’t stay too long as our bodies were crying out for some sleep after all the surfing, so it was back to our house to curl up for the night.
Today is the start of a cold front that will be moving up the country. This normally means bad weather for the first day or so and then perfect surf for the next week! So we’re holding thumbs for what’s to come.
Until then…
Take Care,
Bevan
