Friday 27th September
The flight went well, good service and food, managed a
decent sleep on the second leg and arrived in Cape Town ahead of schedule and
no queues at immigration. Baggage was waiting as we came through and Hertz gave
me a brand new RAV 4 ( only 11 km on the clock) to get around in for the next 6
weeks – only problem is the colour – with so many other white cars around it’ll
be hard to find in the car parks!
By the time we arrived at Pearl Valley (Friday lunchtime),
there was still no news about the transfer of title but had a brief chat with
the agent, who was still optimistic. We dropped in to the clubhouse for lunch
and before we had finished, we had a call from the solicitor to confirm that
the transfer was done.
Unfortunately, the Sellers had been banking on a delay,
had not completed their packing and asked if we would wait until Saturday
morning for the keys. Given that the closing date had been agreed in May, it
was hard to understand how they still needed more time but we had little
choice, so we headed to Ally’s for a much-needed shower and snooze.
By the time the wine was poured we were feeling much better
and ready for dinner at Le Petit Paris.
