Cape Town Mission Field
26 January 2018
Day 48
Friday
Elder Courtright made a run to the post office today and Sister Courtright organized all the packages to be sent to their correct zones. We are still getting a lot of Christmas cards. The post is very slow here.
We headed out to Hermanus in the afternoon and stopped at Somerset West to deliver a weekly supply order to the Elders there. The guarded gate entrance has a sign "No Hooting" = "No Honking". Elder Msali received a rather large package from home (Durbin, South Africa) and he explained it was a goody package. When he opened it up for us to see we were surprised to see if full of healthy snack food items and Herbalife mixes. He explained that his mother is a distributor and that he's working on loosing some weight before he goes home in 10 months.
Once we crossed the mountain pass it was cloudy all the way to Hermanus and lightly raining. Not sure if this makes its way to Cape Town, but this area probably is happy for the rain. We stayed at the Windsor Hotel on Marine Drive, built in 1896. It is a lovely building with awesome breakfast. We stayed on the sea side facing rooms overlooking Gearing Point.
After checking in we walked to the shops along the bay and ate at La Pentola. We had a window seat over looking Walker Bay. The fusion cuisine inspired by Chef Shane Sauvage was awesome. Here our lovely waitress, Taylor, takes a picture with us overlooking our starter, the Springbok carpaccio.
