(TOM) Today we headed out to Paarl, about 40 minutes outside of Cape Town to a Lion park. Miranda really wanted to go after reading about it because of the way they rescue and care for lions. It was amazing to get so close to them and support them being cared for in such an open and perfect place for them.
All day on our way out there, we were calling around for paragliders, trying to find one that would take me and Miranda off Lions Head. But the weather conditions were not right. We finally were introduced to a guy named Manu who agreed to meet us there and see if things changed toward at the end of the day as they do sometimes. On our way, Miranda realized she would likely get sick and decided not to go. Anyway, it turns out Manu had it right, and we ended up taking off from the side of Lions Head on an amazing trip down to the beach. Manu is another one of those people we've met here; great talent, great attitude, really committed to making it easy for people to have a great time here. If you get to CT, and want a fantastic experience, check him out at paraglide.co.za (that is my knee and our shadow in the pic on the right). Thanks for a great ride Manu!
Miranda also had it right, as she would have been very sick. And one can't really be the prettiest girl at a fashion show when barfing...
Right across the street is the main fashon show for Cape Town Fashion Week, so we got as dressed up as we could (Mo much more than me) and we had a little fun.
One last day to go Friday.
