day two

This morning was Lindsay and Delilah’s wedding, the reason for our visit to South Africa. They had planned the ceremony to be held on the deck of a hotel on the beach, where those attending the wedding would look upon the couple with Table Mountain as the backdrop. What they didn’t count on was an almost unbelievable covering of mist which effectively left the wedding in a white out. Not only was Table Mountain invisible but so was the beach. We could hear the waves but couldn’t see them. Of course the wedding went ahead despite the weather and it was equally magical.

By mid morning after a lavish breakfast, the sun had come out and the fog cleared revealing the beautiful landscape. We joined all the guests in a brief frolick on the beach before returning inside to see the Bride and Groom cut the cake.

Only an hour or so later with the wedding guests now mostly gone Woz and I thought we’d spend the rest of the afternoon on the beach and returned outside only to find it had disappeared once again in the mist.

With that in mind we decided we’d go for a drive to escape the mist and headed towards Table Mountain, finding our way to Chapmans Peak.

On our way home we received a call from Lindsay and Delilah with an invitation to go for dinner with them to Lindsay’s favourite seafood restaurant. We had a great night with them and some precious time given all the people they had to catch up with while in Capetown.
