Table Mountain, a little house, and a stormy sea

Image
Bloubergstrand (Blue mountain beach) offers the most iconic view of Table Mountain, not unlike the view of Hong Kong Island from the "other" side, in TST. Whereas the previous day was picture perfect for a stroll through the Company Gardens, today's weather was gloomy, cold, windy and the smell of the stormy seas was intoxicating.    The sense of smell is the most powerful of all the senses.   The full-on smell of the sea took me back to my childhood in one gusty swoop. The three of us talked about reliving childhood memories, remembering or not, looking back or forward alternative ways of looking at life besides visually. ahhh the wisdom of the youth. After a drive along the West coast, we settled in for lunch at Ons Huisie. Thanks Gael and Willem! You will not believe the deliciousness of this dish: It's traditional SAMP but with parmesan, pesto and wonderful ham.   Try it! Traditional fish cakes.  Oven bak
