Temporarily Leave Cape Town

28th/29th - Sort out driver's license and then go with Mandy to the dam near Caledon. Like to do a Hangklip cycle, a quick swim at Strand before I go. Need to find out exactly where the dam is. Swim and Run while at the dam, and maybe MTB. Just have fun, windsurf, and recharge.)

4th Not sure where I will be staying. 1) With Allan and Toby at Toby's dad's place? 2) With Paddy in Hout Bay? Must find out whether I can. I think Toby's dad lives close to the Newland pool.
