Sunday, January 8, 2012, was our last full day in South Africa so we tried to make the most of it or "make the most optimal use of it" as Urszula would say. 
We headed to Kalk Bay, a village just down the road from Muizenberg, and did some shopping.  They really had some great shops and I managed to find a pottery bowl from Morocco for my collection and one for my sister, Sandy, that will work perfectly in our houses.
Heinz, who has been our chauffeur here, found the beach at Noordhoek Bay.  This beach has to be at least 1/2 mile or more from where you park your car to where you actually get wet feet.  Plus it seems to go on and on forever.
We ended up in Hoet Bay at the Ocean Basket which has become our favorite seafood place because of the fabulous kingklip and calamari.  On the outskirts of Hoet Bay we found a native craft fair that was sponsored by the "Lions Club" --- I kid you not.  Those guys are all over.  At the fair, there were some great pieces of pottery, batik, beadwork and fresh and dried fruit.  I ended up buying a hand carved two foot tall giraffe who is just beautiful.  His name is Edward because he is tall and thin as was Edward who was one of our Workshop participants.  I am finally getting the currency conversion now that we are headed home tomorrow.  Bummer.
