Cape Town South Africa

Or a good day if they spend it in a place like Mosselbay or Clifton . You see them the next day covered in sunscreen, so bad you see the white residue, but somehow the red still dominates at the end. Shame, it must hurt like all hell come to think of it Just wish I had a pic somewhere though

[hunlee]

yes! sanso, come to CT!
if covert's pooh-blanket scares you
you can get great accommodation close to the water on either the atlantic
or indian ocean side for under 20€ a day at decent backpackers,
or for around 30- 40€ a day for really nice B&B's.
living and eating and being merry won't cost you more than 20- 50€ a day...
depending on your consumption
anyway, as the guys said, we can always lend a hand with getting you sorted, we're famous for our hospitality, wines and sharks... !

...winnie the pooh duvet...crayfish...

Winnie! Yay! Sounds excellent! I'd much prefer staying with You people
Well, even if this meet-up shouldn't work out for some reason - Mrs and I have a history of taking in stray travellers, so if any of You ever head towards central Europe (say, southern Germany, the north of Switzerland, western Austria, ...), we'll be happy to offer You our spare bedroom (or whatever we will be able to spare at the time).

And, yes, the crayfish-effect I know well - the english/british tend to perform that trick for us here The sun's not too bad in southern Germany, but still enough for some well-done-looking islanders to roam the lakeshore in the summer

So, let's look at the available dates for this..

Hi All

As Hanli mentioned, we are moving on a nice group in the Cape Area, so we need to get contact details for all the interested people. I already have Covert's details, but anyone else from the area can PM me their e-mail addresses and I will include you on our list.
Hanli has worked, and still works, with some top people in freediving in Sweden, so she has been a huge asset to have in Cape Town, so do'nt let up on this opportunity!

Haha, just read thru all the posts! I am the 'guy from the waterfront' indeed, basically the scene is as follows. I have access to a 54 ft Schooner called Esperance, we can motor to Clifton's North Paw, a nice little reef off Clifton beach, and throw anchor in about 22m of water. We dive, sun tan, chill out, shoot a few fish, braai them on the boat, and cruise back. trip is about 3 hours, 9 am -12 pm, but we need clean, flat sea. Cost depends on how many divers we get aboard, but usually about R 200-R300 pp for the morning. Lets arrange a DB'ers trip!
