Trip to Paternoster, Western Cape. 16th March 2026

Breakfast with Terrance and Amy, delightful at the red sofa Cafe, if a lot pricey, afterwhich we went back to collect the trailer that now had Andrew and Amys old lounge suite. Miracles do happen as nothing had happened to it while parked outside their house in the street. 

After dropping it off to be upholstered and maneuvering a trailer through Cape Town streets, (wow, again I am in awe of Michaels prowess with the trailer) we setoff for Paternoster.

Arriving is like being in the Caribbean or Cyprus with these beautiful beaches, white sands and boulders in line with Virgin Gorda.

We ate at the Jolly Roger, pub style. Fish and salad for me and steak and chips for Michael.

The famous Cape Columbine lighthouse is located in the Cape Columbine Nature Reserve, this is the last manned lighthouse built on the South African coast (1936). It is a unique square, tapered tower that offers panoramic views of the Atlantic.
