3 wheel fun

Today we ventured down to the Cape of Good Hope in style.

After having rented a side-car for a day in Hazyview with Anice during our xmas holidays, we decided to do it again.

This time we got a 1930 Chinese sidecar, leather jacket and matching helmet to boot!

My grandfather (Dad's dad) was in the Hong Kong Police Force and also rode a Chinese side-car while on duty. My father says he remembers climbing on the bike as a kid and going for a ride.

Again, I was nominated to play Support Vehicle Driver with my beloved Peugeot, while Mom, Dad and Fiona took turns in the side car and on the bike.

See pic of my sexy car model.

They absolutely loved the ride, especially going down Chapman's Peak Drive and along the coastal road.

As we arrived to Cape Point, we found the tram was closed, so up we climbed to the lighthouse to be rewarded with a stunning view of the oustretched ocean.

We returned via Simon's Town to see the penguins.

While Matt went to drop off the side-car, the others went up Table Mountain to see the sunset.

See some of their stunning snapshots.

After a quick dinner of take-out pizza, we prepared ourselves for an early start tomorrow.

We will be spending the next 5 days on the Garden Route. Tomorrow we will drive to George along the Indian Ocean, a 6 hour drive.

So to help us keep going, Dad kept his promise by making a piping hot loaf of egg-enriched bread for the ride.

See pic of him carefully measuring out the flour into the bread machine. Ooh, his mother would be proud ;)
