Liz and Rob, from Perth, Australia, had booked this booze cruise tour back in November, 2025 already...early bird catches the worm so they say. The day started off with extremely thick mist...the trike and I were soaked. Got to the Waterfront and most of it had cleared. I met up with Liz and Rob and after their first drink at Ferryman's Arms, we hit the road to Hout Bay where we normally stop at The Dunes for a drink but for some reason, they were closed so off we went to the Woodcutters Arms. This was my first time there and not too bad I must admit.
When we got to the top of Chappies, there was not much to see as the mist had once again creeped into the bay. Luckily, it did clear up a bit so that Liz and Rob could experience that magnificent view. From there it was to Dixies in Glencairn, The Brass Bell in Kalk Bay, the Toad On The Road in Lakeside and finally the old favourite, Forrester's Arms, or as us locals simply call it, Forries.
On my way back home, it was once again me and the bloody mist...got home soaked but hey, nothing that a hot shower cannot take care of.
I wish to thank both Liz and Rob for an awesome day out and I wish them safe travels as they explore the rest of southern Africa.
CHEERS!!!
