Blue for the color of the Ocean which we view from our hotel room.
We arrived just after midnight. We had a two and one half hour delay on the tarmac in Amsterdam....technical problems with the engine (: They must have fixed it, because we arrived safely. It was wonderful to see Ad and Jim's faces looking up at us and waving when we entered the terminal in Cape Town Airport. And then just as wonderful were the faces of Coby, Hanneke, Jisca and Brent when we reached the hotel. What a blessing, Jisca got us a room right next to Coby and Ad. We had first thought we would be staying in a hotel next door to the Penninsula.
We slept in this morning...what a blessing to sleep in a bed after spending the previous night on the plane. We showered, put our things away and went downstairs to look around. Brent and Jisca found us and we had coffee together while getting our basic questions answered. Then we just listened as they shared their journey to this wedding day. What a blessing to hear their testimony of how God brought them together.
We had lunch in the hotel restaurant...delicious ....and wonderful service. This is a very beautiful hotel. All the hotel rooms are suites with what they call self catering. That means you have a kitchen :) So after lunch we walked to the super market and bought a few groceries. It took several minutes for the deli counter person to communicate to me how much sliced ham I would need. I am so not a metric measurement person!!! She was so patient.
We returned to the hotel and put our things away when our doorbell (yes we have a doorbell) rang. It was Hanneke and the girls. What pure joy to see those little girls again. We will be painting the nails tonight :) Shades of the Conference Grounds experience. P has continued his tic tac toe gaming with Catherine.....she is still winning :) imagine that!
We went for a walk along the ocean front. God's power shown greatly in the huge powerful waves crashing on the shiny black rocks. The views from any direction here are spectacular!
Hoping to figure out how to get my pictures on this hotel computer...check tomorrow.
