Day 9, May 25, 2013: It’s been a bit hectic getting up early to catch my tours and getting home feeling all done in. I’ve been foregoing my blog to get some rest. Today is a grey day; the first of the trip. I took some photos of the view from my room. It’s like San Francisco, the clouds and fog roll in so fast. My plans for going up to Table Mountain are canned. I decide to lie about for a bit in the morning before heading out to Biscuit Mill. Our safari driver, Pieter, had recommended going to this place to find bread made by two brothers; whose mill we passed on the way back to Cape Town. After the ten minute walk from my hotel; I don’t find the brothers or their bread, but I do find a huge complex of shops, food shops and vendors of all types. It’s an old factory converted to a complex with a food market called Neighbour Goods Market. I buy a chicken pie, a milk tart (a custard) and a locally roasted coffee for my lunch. I find a spot in the communal eating area and enjoy my little feast. I thought this was would be a good time to explore due to the cool and grey weather; however, I was wrong. The place is packed and getting more so as the morning gives way to the afternoon. Not being a shopper by nature, after I have eaten I make a quick purchase of some local tuna biltong (jerky) and chocolate before running away from the throng. I spend the rest of the afternoon catching up on this blog and organizing photos. I keep an eye out the window, hoping and wishing that the sky will clear. I wait and wait. Maybe tomorrow I will make the trip to Table Mountain. I return to the waterfront for a meal. After perusing all the menus, of which there are many, I decide on a place Called Harbour House. They have a price fixe menu with or without dessert. I have a fish soup (made up if fish, mussels and squid) and a main course of kabeljou, otherwise known as kob. It’s a pretty common fish here. This was served on a mound of mashed potatoes, green beans, some kind of greens and topped with a poached egg. Around it was salsa verde and mayonnaise. I have a local white wine along with it. Afterwards, I stop by another shop for a gelato to finish up my meal along the piers. Then back home to nod off in short order.
