O's Cape Town trip 5

This looks like it could be Llandudno beach.

Table Mountain, duh!

One of the smaller trees at Schoenstatt?

A protea by any other name would be a sugarbush.

O's Cape Town Trip 1

The view from Mainstream Shopping Centre in Hout Bay. Chapman's Peak drive is on the left hand side.

En route to Hout Bay, we first stop at Schoenstatt Shrine of Pilgrimage, Constantia Main Road, Constantia.
This is a view of the chapel. There are a few huge and wondrous trees well worth seeing on the grounds.

 Hout Bay.

Hout Bay's bay, looking out to sea, That shape in the sand looks like a key.

Oooh!

What do you want for Christmas?

Apparently there are about 2 billion children in the world and about 35% of them wrote online to Santa Claus to receive a 'personal' reply. Wouldn't it be cool if instead of an e-mail reply some of those (or all of them?) kids could get presents as well in the post? To provide 2 billion children with presents would take an estimated $40 billion (at an average of $20 per gift - toys etc. are expensive, and it might take even more funds than that).

A non-magical Santa would most likely be a multi-billionaire (or trillionaire?); however the task might be accomplished by billions of poor Santas; or maybe even by parents?

For Xmas, I'd like: a personal flying machine (the Martin jetpack).
