Lunch with Allan

Somerset West. Sunday. A beautiful, calm, warm day. Enthusiastically greeted by Allan's 'family' where he rents a flat. Richard there as well, his hike having been cancelled. Allan busy descaling and cleaning a 'silwervis' which looks more orange than silver. Snoek already prepared and placed within minutes on the braai. Drinking tea with tea masala added - spicy, delicious. A lovely family - Werner, Tanya, Tiana, Christiaan & Konroy. Christiaan particularly enjoying the novelty of preparing the freshly caught and bought fish from scratch. A wonderful time of being together over a meal - delicious fish braaied in a sauce of butter, garlic, & apricot jam. Yummy!
After lunch we took a drive to Stellenbosch to see where Richard boards and walk around that very extensive Welgevonden estate complex; followed by coffee at a student centre. Back to Somerset West and a brief viewing of an Andre Rieu DVD. Then time to return to Fishhoek. A lovely day.
