Here we are in Capetown

Jane (my roommate for the next five weeks) and I arrived comfortably and happily in Capetown yesterday, and after settling in to our friendly B & B we set off exploring.  We are going to be well regaled by various friends-of-friends (those wonderfully useful people) over the next five days before our tour starts in earnest.  Oddly enough, a highlight yesterday was finding what must be the best delicatessen in the world - Giovanni's.  I have never, ever, seen such a fantastic array of foodstuffs, all beautifully displayed, covering what must be every variety known to man.  We bought marinated anchovies and other delicious goodies to feast upon,and some amazing chocolate, which was one of what must be a selection of a thousand varieties.

Now off to sightsee.
