Meals: Breakfast

21st of December 2013
This morning I borrowed the luggage trolley, it turns out we have collected a heap of stuff, on the way back with the trolley the porter came towards me looking slightly relieved, he'd found his trolley. He was also amused to see a guest pushing the trolley around. The boys (Michael & Thomas) tried to tip me, but I rejected the offer, 10 Rand each please I'm worth at least 20 Rand each.

After breakfast we jumped into Otis and headed for Table Mountain  there was a little "table cloth" of cloud covering the mountain but nothing too serious, during the drive "The Doctor" / Sun God (Lina) suggested we go out for dinner at Mumma Africa's. Table Mountain was impressive, and they have the whole tourism thing down pat. The cable cars are made by a Swiss company, when you want safety think of the Swiss. We got to see where we were going to to the abseiling from, I was pumped at the prospect of abseiling, but a little sad at the tour ending and to make it worse I'd got me a sinus infection and some hayfever.

When we were done on the mountain we had our last family photo including Otis and some speeches from Owen, Rimson and a very nice speech by Michael on behalf of the group. With that we headed down the mountain and said some teary farewells again. Owen & Rimson were headed for JoBurg late that day and Mika was headed for Namibia that night which left the family of trekkers  to have dinner as a family one last time. More goodbyes, more dust in peoples eyes, it's surprising how close total strangers can become in such a short period of time.

We'll miss you all...
