Heading back to BF Saudi Arabia

I think this blogging thing is going to be more of an effort than I thought.
Today we have to pack, clean the DK house, pick up my road bike & get everything ready for departure (Tuesday 6 am drive to CT).
Very very sad time.
Though, I will be back in March to ride in the Cape Argus - a bike race through Cape Town and the Cape Peninsula. 


I thought 18 months would be a short stint, but it's going to be too long before we can live here as retired people.

Had a lovely dinner last night at Johan & Brian's "bunker" house on Standford's Cove (Bo enjoying the view from their porch above).  They live in England, but our good friends (Sandra & Reinhard Kern) are caretaking the house and they use it as a little getaway from their own B&B when it's full of guests.  The bunker house is prominently displayed in a book called "Arch & Nature," coffee table book showcasing fabulous architecture around the world. 
So, tonight our last dinner here will take place at Bellavista, another really fabulous house/B&B/restaurant high up on the hill overlooking Walker Bay.  It's owned by another German, George, who is good friends with the aforementioned Kerns.
Must get moving now.  Have to polish the balustrade and then head to Gansbaai to get all the other stuff done.
