Entertaining people the world over

In Cape Town, we spent 3 nights at a B&B called David's, run by David and his partner Hannes, who is the main guy we dealt with during our stay.  On the last morning, as he was running my credit card through, Hannes asked me, "Why do you have such a strange name, 'Willey'?  Really! How odd." After we had a nice chuckle over that, he proceeded to call ahead to another B&B on the Garden Route to let them know we might be coming to stay.  The one-sided conversation went something like: "Yes... yes, a very nice couple...  You won't forget the name: Willey.... that's right... yes, a big room for Big Willey."  

We gave B&B number two a pass, you might not be surprised to learn.

Anyway, we just posted a small album from our 3 days in & around Cape Town.  Our big activity from our stay in Cape Town was our hike up Table Mountain, but we also made it out to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela and other political prisoners of apartheid were held.  It seemed good to go and visit, but unfortunately we didn't find the tour all that worthwhile - more entertainment than information, oddly enough!
