After coming back down from Table Mountain, we drove over to Signal Hill for sundowners. It’s even better than it sounds. You watch the sunset while sipping sparkling South African white wine (champagne but not from France), have some canapes and oyster, and talk to your fellow SAS parents. We also had an amazing view of the Twelve Apostles (there are actually 17 mountain peaks in the range). It was great fun – Carol and I both had a nice time getting to know some of the families. One family is even cousins with someone I do work with in DC – Rob Collins. Small world, even when you are on the other side of it!
We then bused down the twisty-turning back side of Signal Hill, through Camps Bay and other seaside suburbs to the Victoria & Albert waterfront. We had dinner at the same restaurant we had lunch! Carol and I had a great time talking with the parents seated around us, and I have become a fan of South African Shiraz, which I pronounced as Shuh-RAZZ, but I learned is actually pronounced Shuh-RAHZ. And now you know.
After we got back to the Hotel, six of us closed out the evening with drinks outside at the bar, perched right over the ocean. It was a beautiful view in the moonlight, and listening to the Atlantic crash against the rocks below was quite relaxing.
