A weekend in Cape Town

[Andy Rabagliati <andyr@wizzy.com>]

Folks,

  I have a minor role in the upcoming Milnerton Players production
  Key for Two, where I play a drunken Australian vet. It opens the
  first week of December.
  
  I went to a Rave club in Cape Town on Saturday, with a couple of
  friends from work. We queued for about an hour, and eventually got
  in at 12:15AM. The place was packed, with a live DJ and warehouse
  size and feel. A huge dancefloor, loud music. Though it was good,
  it was not as good as the rave music I heard at Rustlers Valley
  in 1997, which also had the advantage of a large bonfire.
  
  Major security at the door - everyone was frisked for weapons.
  Cover charge of R40 ($7) was the people filter.
  
  The major beverage consumed was water. I saw little else being
  drunk. They had large soft chill-out rooms for the pill-poppers.
  
  People were easy to talk to, and almost excessively friendly.
  
  I left at 4:30, Sean got back at 7:30. He called me at 11:30AM
  Sunday, and we went for a motorcycle ride for the rest of the
  day. A late breakfast in Franshoek, and then a long ride through
  stunning scenery and national park down for sunset in Georges
  Bay. Most beautiful.

  Franshoek (did I tell you ?) is an idyllic valley, and is the
  last part of a story about fleeing French Hugenot protestants
  who started a new life in South Africa. Climbing out of the valley
  at the bottom end, we paused on the road, and could picture
  where the Hugenots decided to settle. A long way (then) from
  Cape Town, with mountains on three sides, water and flat farmland
  along the bottom. A perfect place to start a new life.
  
Cheers,      Andy!
