Carla checking out of Cape Town ...

Just a couple of pictures to wish Carla well on the next stage of her South African visit.

She left Cape Town this morning at 09h00 on British Airways for Johannesburg.

She is driving with colleagues from there to Wakkerstroom in Mpumalanga for two days before going off to Kruger Park for another five days or so.

I give Carla her first hands-on woodturning lesson ...

The day before she left Cape Town we managed to squeeze in a first hands-on woodturning lesson for Carla. We turned a couple of spin tops for Carla's young niece back in Lisbon.

Carla was an excellent student and learned quickly, completing the third spin-top almost entirely on her own.




We will continue with Carla's woodturning lessons when she returns to Cape Town next year.

I'm looking very forward to that Carla. I hope that all your plans to return to Cape Town for an extended period next year come to fruition.

I hope that you really enjoy your Kruger Park visit before you fly home.

A shoping expedition and bike ride around Cape Town with Carla ...

On 23 October 2010 I accompanied Carla, a very good friend from Portugal, to various Cape Town craft markets to shop for gifts for her family and friends.

We took my old Honda Steed 400 and continued our shopping expedition with a ride down the Cape Peninsula via Llandudno, stopping for lunch in Hout Bay. After watching some seals on the Hout Bay Harbour breakwater we completed our ride by taking a trip over Chapman's Peak Drive and home over Ou Kaapse Weg.

Carla took some great video footage from the pillion.
