Summer in Cape Town

Finally, the rain is less frequent, the sun is warmer and we can start enjoying summer.

We kicked it off in style with sun downers on Llandudno Beach. A couple ice cold beers, some good friends and awesome setting. 

Soaking up the warm afternoon sun, checking out the surfers - yep... this is what we've been waiting for!

Already planned for the next couple of weekends (after a short trip back to mud-island!) is sandboarding in Hout Bay - which I've never attempted... but really, how hard can it be??

After that we've got camping and river-rafting on the Breede River just outside of Cape Town. Lots of activities lined up to keep us out of trouble and enjoying the outdoors. The great thing about all these mini adventures, of course, is that we get to meet new people - the like-minded kind, which is always a bonus. 

Roll on summer (in earnest!) and hey, if the wind blows, we'll either head off to Tokai Forest for some mountain biking or bring out the kites!!

And if you think this is a little OTT on the whole outdoor adventure thing, don't forget that we are actually in training for Kili... so it's all necessary hard work; really...

I'm going to be on my lonesome from next week for a whole 2 weeks - which is to say, this bLog going to be updated a little more frequently than it has been. Expect some more photos and random jibber jabber.
