Relaxing in Kommetjie for a few days with Robert. No need to leave, as you can get all the peace and beauty you need to chill out right here. Living in London, there is no yearning for city life! We had a really good lunch at Espresso Dotkom, a delightful and welcoming coffee shop/restaurant in Kommetjie, where the owners are hands-on and eager to please. The caesar salad was, I would say, one of the best I have had anywhere. After lunch, we strolled down to the beachfront, where the lack of wind was today's greatest pleasure! The sea was mirror-smooth and clear as glass.
A stroll along the pathway along the bayside took us past the rocks where the infamous 5ft cobra resides - the one that nearly bit my friend the other day. Here is a picture of it, duly confirmed as a chilled-out, healthy specimen of cobra!
We approached the area with extreme caution, but were, I suppose, lucky enough not to see it. An attempt has been made to catch it, as evidenced by the removal of many rocks, which is rather a shame because they have been in that position for who knows how many hundreds of thousands of years. In a way, it will be a pity if they chase it away, but being a popular walking area, it is a great danger to the unaware. And of course there is also the danger of some fool trying to kill it. So perhaps it will be better if it does slither off to a safer area for all concerned.
Tomorrow we will be out and about visiting Rabbit's friends and relations (oh, sorry, that's Winnie-the-Pooh) - Robert's friends and relations, so looking forward to catching up. In no time, it will all be back to normal here and on with the daily grind!
