Round and round the rainbow


The journey to Franschoek was atmospheric and South Africa as we have never seen it before. Rainbows abounded...

The tops of the mountains were largely hidden by low clouds and rain

We arrived at Cafe BonBon to be greeted by Heinrich the Second

The bread was mini rolls of different kinds

And tantalisingly on the counter was a giant lemon meringue.

Last time we were in Africa there was a hunt for these leather strips called Riempie (no idea how to pronounce it) which we discovered finally at Dassiesfontein. Here even in the poshest of restaurants their chairs have it as does my brother and sister in law in Norfolk

The fountain was flowing as was the rain on the mountains behind...

We saw a family of soggy baboons on the drive back over the mountain pass...
And on the other side...

Was it the same rainbow? Maybe

Supposed to be onto Just Do's ("whilst you're here can you just do") today but I've lost Woody to the Internet so am enjoying the sun instead 😀
Love to all xxx
