I am 90 percent sure I can persuade the BFG to drive there. Here is hoping.<br /><br />The 9 hour place is Milner. Do you know of it? IT has a kind of legendary status amongst my friends and I really want to go there. But it would be soooo embarrasing if I could not make the walk in and we had to turn back. It has happened to my firend before. I don't want to be the one they turn back for :( <br /><br />I am not sure what date I will be in Cape Town yet cos I am still working out our itinerary, but will message you!<br /><br />Tamara: thank you! We had an experience one time here when the only veggie stuff was these battered veggies that were more UK cuisine than Japanese. So he is now averse to sushi even though sushi is only rice and seaweed really.<br /><br />Luke: so you would swim with the sharkies? Not surprising considering you are a zoologist. I am such a woessy at heart. Every time I see people doing the bungy I consider... and then walk away.<br /><br />Helen: strangely I was never that mad about peppermint crisp, but now.... it is sounding bloody good.<br /><br />Owl House has my name on it. I hope. With a town with a name as cool as Nieu Bethesda, it has to be investigated.pohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00711119384786965311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3006461670144722868.post-19222858314629538992009-11-25T17:39:08.353+00:002009-11-25T17:39:08.353+00:00PLEASE go to the owl house!

And the town itself is really beautiful in a God-forsaken-hole-in-the-middle-of-nowhere kinda way :) Really, I loved it!<br /><br />Interestingly enough, on your SA to-do list, I would do all the stuff you say you would never! Except, I'd do the wine farm too...and the garden route...and table mountain...Actually, I think the only thing I'd pass on is the game reserve. I get to do that kinda thing all the time, so unfortunately, it's lost its shine for me...Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08408021370464130759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3006461670144722868.post-40561525190842097472009-11-25T08:14:14.797+00:002009-11-25T08:14:14.797+00:00Ahem... having just done a sushi-making course, I ...Ahem... having just done a sushi-making course, I feel like I can authoritatively say that "of course there's vegetarian sushi" ;-) And most places serve it. And it's way cheaper than the fish sushi. Although (IMO) not as yummy. BFG would probably disagree.<br /><br />I'm seriously hoping you get a horribly long transfer time in OR Tambo Airport so that some of the Joburg bloggers (like me) can at least meet you.Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13875207633073348136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3006461670144722868.post-20600008624081379682009-11-24T22:41:23.048+00:002009-11-24T22:41:23.048+00:00Looks like we are catching up on each others blogs...Looks like we are catching up on each others blogs this evening...so here are my comments:<br />- the owl house is very cool! Random but cool. I loved it. and even though it is out of the way it is a really nice drive. (maybe some driving on SA long distance roads will ease the stress of UK driving, that is where i learned) <br />- wheres the 9 hour walk in?<br />- what date you in cape town? (feel free to email or fb that instead of posting on here!)I know that i miss you on most of the trip, but if we have a lap over day or so we could do some climbing perhaps as I def have climbing plans! even if i'm in pain<br />- and finally I'm also looking forward to that melting in a puddle feel !!MidniteGemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232003566570980321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3006461670144722868.post-36515243549820178782009-11-24T21:28:10.651+00:002009-11-24T21:28:10.651+00:00I have a question to ask all the sushi fundis: do ...I have a question to ask all the sushi fundis: do any of the restaurants you mentioned serve vegetarian sushi?
