Back in Cape Town.

We arrived today to signs of World Cup renovations. Airport has had a make-over. New stadium is built and looks amazing. Landscaping, new highways and beautification in progress. Money exchange took a frustrating hour in Sea Point - doesn't bode well for the throngs of visitors come June who will expect in/out service.

Lunch was beet root salad with pumpkin seeds, feta and arugula from the neighborhood Woolworths ("Woolies" to the locals; a Marks & Spencer-like upmarket grocery and department store). Afternoon sipping tequila with lime and a broer (literally, brother, otherwise, mate, guy, friend) hangout melted away the 2 days of airplane travel. 

Surprisingly, dinner was a most excellent gluten free pizza with spinach, roasted garlic, grilled red pepper and a roasted vegetable salad with ricotta. My lungs may well be spared!
