We love having our Cape Town friends to visit us in Struisbaai from time to time and last weekend Tony and Sharon came up to spend Saturday and Sunday night with us. The weather couldn’t have been nicer.
During our many years of friendship, Sharon and I have waked many miles together so it was great to have her company on my daily strolls. Of course we did the mall, the harbour and the beach but on Sunday we headed toward Cape Agulhas where we planned to meet the guys for coffee at Potpourri.
It’s compulsory to visit the harbour
We didn’t make it to Potpourri as we bumped into our mutual friend Sheryl who was working in the garden in front of her B&B. She was delighted to see Sharon and invited us in for coffee. So we rang the guys to join us and spent a few hours with Sheryl and Alan instead
Sheryl showed us round her beautiful B&B, Agulhas Ocean House
Each room has stunning sea views
The en suites are so luxurious
On Monday we drove to Arniston and looked for birds and wildlife on the way.
We saw a few birds including blue crane, bokmakierie, pied starlings, sparrows and canaries but I’m always delighted to find the Denham’s Bustard
Also a little bokkie resting in the veld.

It was an amazing day

The cake and coffee was to die for
Not the Banting Diet!
Sadly our friends had to leave when we got back to Struisbaai but it was so good to spend those two days with them.

You must travel via Struisbaai next time and you would be very welcome to stay with us – not as luxurious as Ocean House but good company😂
